  Always download the backup 2fa codes. This is when you need them.

    Or buy a yubikey and set it up as a backup MFA on at least your email and password manager, then keep it in a fireproof safe.

      While this is good advice, best practice is to always get your yubikey in pairs and keep them synchronized. One should remain in your home, in a safe place (as you described) while the other should remain on your person or outside the home (e.g. in a safe deposit box)

      It’s more of a pain in the ass for sure, but handles the theft scenario more effectively

  Have Android phone

  Don’t bother signing into your Google account

  Download Canta, Shizuku and f-droid apk and install

  Use canta to uninstall every Google app that isn’t strictly required

  Chrome, Gmail, Drive

  Weather, Launcher, News

  Clock, Keyboard, even the damn Calculator

  Everything. Canta actually tells you what is and isn’t safe

  Replace everything with open source alternatives as you go (don’t forget about a keyboard alternative)

  Get APKUpdater to install and update apps that aren’t on f-droid from various sources you can choose

  Have hastily degoogled Android phone

  Do you not back up your 2FA when you set them up?

  People should need to take a test before they can be on the internet.

    I’ve never set up 2FA on my google accounts, but knew someone who this happened to which is why I was hesitant to set it up on my own accounts. Didn’t know backing up 2fa was a thing.
