Maybe a dumb question and I did search to figure it out but I can't seem to find an answer.  How do I backup Google Authenticator in case I lose my phone or have to do a restore?  Considering how much money is behind my 2FA accounts it's a bit worrisome.  I have an iPhone if it matters... any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

For iPhone there is no tools Sad
I have iPhone also, but I use Google Authentificator only on my second device. It's cheap android. There is a big benefit: android has an app that can backup anything. Titanium Backup Pro. It's really great tool. You can create backups everyday on schedule, set password etc.. There is a lot of feautures, you can google it.

Thank you thank you thank you!  I didn't know you could use Authy in place of Google Authenticator.  It's pretty scary that I've been managing my accounts with Google and that they don't have a backup function for iPhones.  It'd have been a nightmare if I lost access to my phone.  Thanks again... you rock.
