Give them FIDO keys.

It's built on public/private crypto, so it's not like TOTP where the QR code is the plaintext private key that has to be distributed around like it's candy.

What happens when a user loses their FIDO key?
You give them another one. But people lose their FIDO keys about as often as they lose their car keys, which is far less than they forget their passwords, or don't finish setting things up.
They use their backup key.
And if there is a flood that destroys that too?
