 * Are there any Google Authenticator backup codes? In case the device the Google
   Authenticator runs on is lost or damaged?
 * Usually 2FA (Two-factor verifcation) utilises a list of one-off backup codes,
   that can be stored somewhere securely.

 * Nope, we don’t have backup codes, but this is a good idea. However, you should
   take a read of this so you’ll never have this problem again 🙂
