As is with all two factor, but don't point that out, or the "but muh security" bros will shout you down.
The authenticator app that I use for most 2FA can be on multiple devices, and you can export and import some or all of the entries, password protected.
I would be extremely F'd if my 2FA was able to be lost or stolen due to a single device limitation.
