Everyone should read this risk mitigation solution for loosing 2FA. I always think about printing recovery codes, but having keepass vault with those codes also sounds great. You may even have some random password there and store it printed out in some locations just for emergency.

Anyways, people should think about these risks when dealing with 2FA: flood, fire, stolen, lost, (I) broke (Smartphone, yubikey, usb, etc), broke (itself), software bug, kids, washing machines, etc.

And also something we usually don’t consider: loss of memory, which can occur in combination with a traumatic event like your house burning. Then you can loose your smartphone, your Yubikey, your printed copy, and your memory all at the same time if everything is stored in one place. And this is exactly when you will need those the most. Not easy to defend against such a nightmarish scenario.
