View submission: How to keep your Reddit account safe
Authy is the thing you're looking for. I factory reset my phone a couple of weeks ago. I enabled adding a new device to my Authy account, installed the app, gave it my passphrase and all my 2FA tokens were back in place. Removed my "old" phone from the device list, disabled adding new devices and I was off.

I suppose I should, but that only solves the easy ones to move. The hard ones are Steam, my bank, and Fidelity account (they use Symantec VIP Access). And of course Google accounts work best with Google Authenticator and Microsoft accounts work best with Microsoft Authenticator. I prefer to use my Microsoft account, so out of inertia all of my other 2FA goes into Microsoft Authenticator where possible.
I really don't want a 5th 2FA app, so I suppose what I really mean is, "Microsoft, you need to figure out backing up and restoring the accounts in your Authenticator app."
