This is one reason most systems provide a sheet of one-time backup codes that you're meant to print out and keep in a safe place, for recovery from exactly that scenario. Alternatively, if you have an old phone or tablet lying around, just install an MFA app on that and enrol it too, lock it in a cabinet, then if you ever lose your primary phone, use it to recover. Also, these days, most authenticator apps support some kind of backup mechanism. FreeOTP lets you back up to a file (which you should, of course, keep somewhere safe and ideally encrypted). Google Authenticator can backup To The Cloud. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.happyassassin.net -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
