1. Don't own a printer

2. Don't want my hand to cramp

3. I'm being silly, everyone should use MFA

Email it to your wife or someone you trust. It will just sit in their archived folder until you have an emergency

Since the backups are encrypted with my one time pad, I don't need a ton of trust, just reliability that they'll send me the encrypted codes. I already have them on the subreddit I made in my other comment, buuut, it's always nice to have another layer of redundancy, right?

Hey, what's your email address?
