95% of my 2FA accounts are TOTP. My issue is that not all providers give me printable backup codes - some just say "get two devices!" and that's just not reasonable for a variety of reasons.

To get around this I usually just store the secret (from the QR code) in a secure place (encrypted database with yubikey).

This always allows me to recreate the TOTP entry.
