Good day, just want to share my experience, I am using 2fa as my security in my emails and exchange accounts, so one day I nearly lost my phone and that phone holds majority of my pins, 2fa, etc. so I thought I lost all, luckily I found the phone. So now I'm thinking of buying an extra phone for backup. What else do you recommend for backup?
The best backup is an old-school notebook where you record all passwords and pins and then keep the book safe.

2FA is for security purposes only but when there is a time that you lost your credentials here, then you are really fu****-up. Having a backup is an obvious thing to do not just in crypto world but for all your important files e.g notes, passwords, payments list, private keys (crypto), PIN (bank) and many more. My usual practice is storing it in an offline flash drive and to my external HDD. So now I'm thinking of buying an extra phone for backup. What else do you recommend for backup?
Extra phone costs much but if you afford it then it's your decision. Backups can be done at flash drive, external hdd, cloud backup, simple draft in email provider (yahoo, google) , google drive, dropbox etc. It's up to you where you think it will be safe.

Backup is a very important thing which everybody should do. I think that the best approach is to use an external flash drive where you can hold your backup data. It is very good that you have started this topic to discuss because it will be useful for thousand other traders to prevent losing data by making backups.

I have experienced it before, then I ask for help by the customer service from them to open my account and they respond to me to give the terms that the account has got us like photo identity, proof of your photo (selfie). In this case, 2fa is very vulnerable and should be on guard carefully because if it is lost it will be very difficult to restore it again. My suggestion you should use apple smartphone, if something happens or lost the phone, you can take it back through iTunes then you move to new mobile to move data.

To once do not lose access to services can do so: on all services, where there is an opportunity to make the code, take a screenshot of this code. Then you can find the place where you will store these screenshots. For example, an encrypted disk or an archive. Or a computer without access to the Internet.

As we see, we cannot get any security or safety for our own belongings today. Nowadays, we cannot assure for our things that it can be forever in our hands. We see how the lifespan of the things today. We must keep our own things and make a backup every now and then. Theres no permanent in the world today

Backing up 2fa codes online seems a bit dangereous to me so I'm keeping them in an offline hdd just in case i need them. Flash disk is probably better though, it is more sturdy.

As much as possible don't put all your info in one place. For example, it is better to use a flash drive to store your data since it is much convenient to hide it in a safe place than storing your file on pc, smartphone and tablet where it can easily phished if your security is not that good. Always track your movements, logins and wallets. Always check for token movements in your wallet to prevent any suspicious activity. Do not click unsecured sites and message from spam and unknown sources.

Since this time phone is necessary to use phone for google authentication to login to to exchanges like binance, i think its better to just trade on exchanges with few amounts and just keep the stash of tokens you got on your wallet that needs not your phone verification but then of course you make it safe that no one knows your priv key and wallet password.

backup is just as important as if you made a transaction? If backup does not have that feature then all transactions will not be recorded and data will lose its function. And we will not be able to recover it.

Well we have that in case of emergency, what is important is to save every important information regarding your wallets, since it was really hard to lose the information to connect with your wallets,and I think remembering is not pretty enough to do, so it was better that have some assurance and I rhinke taking notes and even buying an storage for everything that you have to keep.

Having back up for saving our private keys or passwords is necessary so we won't be worried if ever your situation will happened to others. Buying extra phone is not practical but if you lots of money then you can, but for me I will go for manual like saving it in my notebook and keep it in a safety place .

I believe in addition to the 2fa codes stored in phones via the barcodes, you also have the passkey/code. If you misplaced your phone, you can have access to your account again via the security key code.

I am using the same as well. I believe that it is really important that we have backups for our important files and accounts. I am also using another phone to secure some of my files. It is risky if we'll not secure our accounts and private keys so we better handle it properly and appropriately.

Backup is really important, but it is also really important to make sure that you have a very security backup. The biggest pro of making a backup is simply the main purpose that people makes a backup for- to have a second chance to restore their funds in-case that they lost the main way access to their funds. Also a biggest con that some are not aware of is the fact that anybody can access your wallet if they have your backup or backup seed. It means that you need to protect your backup seed as it was your wallet, and not forgive security on this just because you don't daily use it to transfer funds.

I'm using color note application to back up my google authenticator/2fa codes, seeds, and phrases, it is basically an advanced notepad android version with the capability to back up and restore all the notes saved encrypted with a master password to protect against hacking and frauds, just make sure you will secure the back up files for future restorations when something went wrong, well you can use your preferred application if you want to, make it sure it is not a spyware or malware app.

The only possible step is to back up your data with the online system, because even if your phone is lost, it can be resolved.
