I keep some Google and Github account recovery codes on a slip of paper with my passport, some more in my wallet, and all in an encrypted file on a server with SSH access.

Hopefully that's enough that I'm not too inconvenienced, should my phone be stolen.

How often do you travel?

For holidays (6 weeks per year) plus one or two business trips (up to 2 weeks per year), plus about 1 weekend a month.

But does it matter?

Should my wallet and phone be stolen whilst I'm away, I can log in to my server using SSH (and a long password), then decrypt a file containing the backup codes (PGP with a long passphrase). Then I can access GMail/Github.
