Use an alternative like andOTP or Authenticator Plus which allow you to backup your keys.

+1 to andOTP. It's on F-Droid and still gets semi-regular updates. It's a bit obnoxious that it requires a password, but that just means an autofill from my password manager for free at-rest encrypted storage.

I believe if you use the Android Keystore, you can use it without a password and just authenticate with a fingerprint when it starts up.

Are you not using 2FA for your password manager?
