You can reconfigure Authy to require an existing device to let you in as well. It won't prevent the "absolutely everything is fried" case but it's better than most password managers.

If someone tries to use SMS/Voice to activate Authy on my account it just gets rejected.

Pretty neat for everyone that uses two phones regularly! If you leave that other phone in your desk drawer for several years though, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work...
