2 years agoI have every 2fa code stored inside 1Password, so I can use the integrated autofill support for it. The 2fa code for 1Password itself is the one code I additionally store in an external authenticator app, so I still have access to it in case i lose access to all signed in devices or or accidentally sign out from every device. This way there is no circular dependency.
I also printed the QR code and took it to my paper documents, along with a copy of the emergency kit (contains the secret key) and the account password for backup purposes. Keep in mind, 1Pasword support isn't able, unter no circumstances, to unlock access to your account by resetting password or secret key, because the secret key and password are directly used as key for vault decryption, and they don't have them stored anywhere. They can only delete everything on request to let you start again, should you forget one of these. Only the mfa code is actually something they can remove, because it is only used to protect access, not something that encrypts or decrypts data.
