What if you lost or somehow broke the phone? You'll be locked out your stuff faster than you'd expect. If you back it up to a cloud service, are you sure you can recover it without the TOTP? If you are backing it up to your computer, then it's already on your computer and will probably be compromised when your vault is, so you might as well use your vault anyways.

I load my TOTP tokens into two phones, one that stays at home fully charged. If I lose them, I can easily reset my TOTP with any reasonable provider - I have the account login and password, and can authenticate with my email/provide proof of identity.
