Reminder: Back up your 2FA code recovery items

I see a lot of PSA posts about seed phrases, but rarely see a reminder to back up that little extra item that gets you into exchanges and prevents people stealing your stuff. The 2FA list you have – most likely on an app like google authenticator. Every one of those codes had a backup and recovery set when you imported it, but we always are so excited to do the first trade, I think some of us glaze over that. But, if that 2FA code is not with your password it can bring a lot of hurt. It's really hard to authenticate your account in some cases. The 2017 bull run was years ago. You survived the bears and mini bull runs in between. You probably put away your crytpto for a month or three during a low spot. Yet you are back now, and things are getting exciting. A lot of us have these old lists of codes now. Just making a friendly reminder to back up your 2FA list.
