On: Safe Deposit Boxes Aren't Safe

[ghaff]

You think you’re reasonably well backed up until the sh*t hits the fan and you realize everything is hanging by a much thinner thread than you thought. Recent events I experienced have added really working through record backups to my todo list.

I keep paper copies of the backup 2FA codes for Google and LastPass in my wallet and have been pretty happy with that strategy.

A couple of years ago, I had my wallet fall out of my pocket while I was on a boat.

My phone was back at the dock safe and dry so I had my primary authenticator. And I probably had printed copies somewhere at home.

I've been much more diligent since then about making sure there are copies and that they're accessible.
