So basically what title says.

Im using 2FA with google authenticator for multiple accounts. What if my phone gets stolen? Can I have some kind of backup? Or maybe sync with some self hosted service?

Bonus question: what 2FA should I use instead of google?

I dont know why you got downvote. Seems like perfect backup if stored somewhere safe. Am I missing something?
