Do you use the same email or 2FA for all of those? If so, you still have a potential single point of failure if that provider decides to ban your account.

It is unlikely that both the email and 2FA will fail you at the same time, unless perhaps you are using gmail and Google authenticator (though I am not sure how much authenticator is tied to your Google identity as I don't use it).

Use email, phone and app 2FA plus printable 2FA codes, and you'll always have a way.

Frankly if all of these can be made inaccessible in one go then the setup was mighty flawed to begin with.

  • Google authenticator was entirely offline the last time I checked, so even it should be fine.

No.

- iCloud 2FA is another Apple device.

- I don’t care enough about my Google account to have 2FA. Besides the occasional SMS.

- Microsoft 2FA is Microsoft Authenticator.

  • Microsoft 2FA is any TOTP Client. I use it with KeePass (Strongbox Client on Mac and iPhone)
