    I was using an authentication app until I had to reset my phone. The backup did not load the "Keys" in the authentication app so it was rendered useless. I was in deep recovery mode, emergency codes, emails etc. Got me thinking about the what ifs.

    For instance for an MS account, you can add multiple security email addresses as well as phone numbers (landline & mobile). I have had to reset phone a few times but it's an easy and fast task to use a security email or phone number as 2FA authentication method to sign in to security settings and scan the barcode to newly reinstalled authenticator app.

    I can see no problems there.

    Wasn't so much a problem. It was time to go through all the accounts, gain access, resync app.

    For me I just decided text me.
