Until you lose the device with the 2fa app and can’t ever get into those accounts again. I’ve heard that horror story before and I avoid those apps because of it.
Lots of these apps let you export the entire vault as a file. I use this to import it on other devices. I currently have it on my phone (Aegis) and my pc (OTPClient) and is very satisfied with the experience.
I also have encrypted backups on a USB flash drive, an external HDD and five separate cloud services. I trust this solution.
I really like 2FA as long as it’s TOTP and I can use an offline app or program for it. It just works and is very easy and secure.
