For all the sites that use TOPT, I have a screenshot of the QR code that was presented me, encrypted with GPG (using a symmetric key and a random password) and then I put that encrypted file in my 1Password collection.

I feel reasonably secure about this (as secure as I'm feeling about all the passwords already there in 1password) and I have a huge advantage that changing my phone won't require remembering to disassociate all accounts first if I don't want to lose access to them.

As TOPT works without a back-channel, that QR code stays useable until I manually revoke that key on the respective web site.
