Authy for example enable you to have a cloud backup - https://authy.com/features/backup/

1Password offers MFA and would still be available on your other devices if you lost your phone. As to if storing passwords with MFA codes is fine or a problem, I’ll let smarter people than me decided what’s best practice.

Ah, yes. Authy was the iCloud one I was thinking of. IIRC they provided plenty of warnings about the tradeoffs of enabling that.
