Two-factor reset is usually a slow manual process where the service provider checks that you are who you really claim to be. It is not automated so that it cannot be abused.

If you have 50 two-factor authentication tokens you can use apps like Authy that allows you to do a local or remote back up of the tokens. TOTP is an RFC standard and you will find lots of apps for advanced users.

Services often give recovery codes too.
