Yesterday, I accidentally removed an authenticator app from my phone. Fortunately, I have another copy of the app on a different device. It made me realize how easy it is to lock myself out of my accounts. Do you think it’s a good idea to create a Windows VM with an Android emulator on it and install copies of all my authenticator apps, this will not cause any security issues?

    Sane MFA apps explicitly disallow their data from being backed up. That would be a massive attack vector if it was possible.
