Authy requires a backups password to restore, or least it can be configured to. Of course, hopefully you remember it in a disaster situation. If you have a cloud password manager you can end up in a chicken and egg situation.

Looks like the backup password can be reset too by support, so while that present an additional barrier to the attacker, it doesn't sound that effective.
