Consider this scenario: i drop my phone in the water.

Now what? I have to create a new life.

Sometimes a fresh start is a good thing :-)

Alternatively, you get a new phone, install a TOTP app and scan or import your TOTP seed backups.

What seed backups?

[Encrypt-Keeper]

You buy a new phone and continue using your TOTP app / password manager and continue with your life.

Even if my totp app had cloud sync (the default android one doesn't), my cloud requires totp, so I can't use that account.
