I'm perpetually worried (and partially prepared) for this sort of scenario, as more of my accounts require 2FA. I dread the day I lose or break my phone, have my items stolen, there's a weather disaster etc. I try to make my hobby repos public and/or backed up in multiple places as a hedge.

All my digital life is sorted with a password manager that sync's in a cloud (I know some consider this an anti-feature). I guess OP probably had to disclose information to someone (s)he trusts when going to prison and that trust was abused.

Print out 2FA codes and bury them somewhere.

It's not that hard, and you feel like a proper spy doing it ;)

		Please don't depend on this. Paper does not like moisture and soil is full of it. Use an escrow or custodian (lawyer, bank, etc).

Yubikey in a safe deposit box is about as good as we can get, at least for the services that allow it.

The problem with this tactic is the need to go get the Yubikey every time you make a new account.

Can we use multiple Yubikeys for a service?

		I use 2 yubikeys. I registered both on multiple services. So… yes, it is possible. One key is a backup if the other key stops working.

Just do as I do and keep all the 2FA TOTP Codes in your keepass.

Don't you have a 2FA Recovery Code?

		Far too many of the critical services (banks) still only offer SMS 2FA.

		For most of them. It's a tool, but not a silver bullet
