Free tech & internet tip: Write a one-page recovery sheet (step 8 of 9 from "Two-Factor on Everything That Matters").

List every 2FA-protected account, the method (TOTP app, passkey, hardware key), and where the backup codes live. Do not write passwords — the vault handles that. This sheet tells future-you or a trusted contact which drawer, which envelope, which hardware key.

Keep one copy with the codes. Keep a second in a different location or with a person you trust. If you use a hardware key, buy two and enroll both.
