Good day, just want to share my experience,
I am using 2fa as my security in my emails and exchange accounts, so one day I nearly lost my phone and that phone holds majority of my pins, 2fa, etc. so I thought I lost all, luckily I found the phone. So now I'm thinking of buying an extra phone for backup. What else do you recommend for backup?

Well this was happen to me also just few month ago. Even i lost my smartphone where i was holding all the important wallet id's and private key and then i got my phone back after two days. But after that incident i used three things for the backup purposes one is using another smartphone on the other side for 2FA, and other login purposes.The second option is writing it on either Online google docs or write it in a file a upload it on google drive. Third option is using a extra email id where you send all the keys and ids and also i manage all these things with strong 2FA Authorised passwords.

just like any operation you must always have a plan B for if plan A fails such as the lost of your phone or a missing private key you can rest assured if you have plan B where you can assess it by other means like writting it on a sheet of paper with tight security.

Backup is very important. Backup are very important for protecting your wallet. Backup are also very important for your different addresses. This can easily protect you from different types of risks. So backup is very important for me.

Well this is one serious issue and I think you can stop your 2fa accounts from getting hacked. You can actually protect your 2fa accounts by activating some extra security features. Also you do not need a new phone to back up and you can do that with multiple devices like your hard disk as well. You can also secure your Google account that will always help you in backup. There are so many options

I was thinking about it also. Its really hard if you lost your phone with important details regarding your investments. I am not that techie if ever i lost my phone this might be a disaster for me. Maybe i will use the phone of my wife as my back up if somethings happen. And also back in email would be nice too. Using some hardware wallets is also a good option especially if you have big amount coins. Hackers will do anything just to have easy money.

It is not hard. Just make sure you remember all the details and most especially the email you used in setting up the authenticator app and I am sure you should be fine. There is an integrated backup in most of them, and that makes it easy to access them all back if you end up purchasing a new device. Nevertheless, having a new device is not a bad idea though, as long as you have the bucks to do so, and it is not affecting you negatively in anyway.

Much better if all your password and usernames are stored in your hdd for backup and one of the most important thing never ever lost your email that you use to register in a site its one of the most common way to recover your account by activating the link sent in your email if you try to recover your account without 2fa this works perfectly if you lost your phone.

We can back up the 2FA code from beginning before we scanning 2FA barcode. 2FA is important to make our account more safe but if we losing our google autheticator, we can not log in on our account.

backup is very important specially if you have something to keep, I got my mycelium wallet before and suddenly my phone got crash it has .5 btc by that time since I dont have any backup of my wallet .5 flies away.

2fa is also important so that your acct is much secured than without a 2fa.

I think backup is the keys if you actually want to secure your cryptocurrencies holding. I have decided to write my private keys down on the paper wallets. And not to used centralized exchanges except in for exchange purpose. Having another phone is also very important as I also thought of this before and you are bringing up.

When you choose cryptocurrency you must make a buck up of all of your files and accounts for the groceries or for every time you are respectable. The only one who depend upon which has been running a new cryptocurrency is really amazing in this day of cryptocurrency is really amazing.

If you have forgotten the information you just traded and do not have the backup feature, it is difficult for you to lose the data you need to know about important backups.

No way to recover the funds that has gone it's private keys, it's not only difficult but there's no chance of getting it again.

Getting back ups like what the recommendations here will suit someone that wants to be safe with his funds. Also don't mess with websites that are asking such important answers including your funds, leave those sites immediately.

Actually this is also my worries as I think once you lose your phone then you can't log in to another device. Or I am wrong with this? As I already tried this but nothing happened. Hope Google authenticator have an update for this so we don't need to bother that much because 2fa is really a thing.

security is most important for here. because there have many sort of hacker with around the world. So you have to save your wallet with best and best security you can. and are you using android so you can authenticat or app. it would be best security and you have more choose but my best was that authentucat app.

Well, Its a very important to have a back up for all of your account, because sometimes you will suddenly forget something or you can lose suddenly your phone. And you should always make a back up and store it on your laptop, tablet or if you hesitate to put it on your gadgets than can be be hacked or can be deleted, maybe you can write it on a piece of paper so that even though you lose your gadgets at least you have a copy in a paper. Always be prepared and have a plan to store your files in a safe place.

Yes backup is important, I think when it comes to make surely and fully secured to our important Private key or any details regarding to our private account we need to send it into our own email to yahoo mail, g-mail, or face book, just to be secured ourselves and lastly you just need to have extra pocketbook and all your details must be in your pocketbook for quick access if you do not want to open your account.

Definitely backup is important especially nowadays that alot of hackers. And incase you lose any of your soft copy,it is important to have also the hardcopy.Mostly, wallet addresses that are having private keys are important to have a back up. And when you like using mobile and lose it so all important info or file saved in there it is important to have a copy or backup.
