Minimum two, preferably three.

The second one is for backup purposes.

The third one is to go in your safe.

Agreed. But the 3rd one I might put in a different geological location...that is if something already happened to 1&2...

The challenge with the keys is you need to set them up on every account and each key. So you can't have your recovery key that far away.

But merely as a backup key for your password manager, fine.

Most of my stuff runs OIDC and on my home server, so if my whole house gets washed away I have more problems than a lost key.
