Not to mention the much more likely attack vectors with this approach over a safe/deposit box based approach (which you might be alluding to):

  - This has a big assumption that 2FA cannot be bypassed AND other service exploits
  are not possible. The recent Dropbox security paper showed this was possible:
  https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot13/woot13-kholia.pdf
  - Device stolen/lost/hacked with active logins to said services OR local copies of said 2FA
  recovery codes? Eek!
  - Our friends at the NSA love that you use Dropbox to store this versus a more
  secure service like SpiderOak.
