⚠️ Fear of second-factor loss prevents some from using two-factor authentication. There's no need to fear that scenario.
⚠️ Losing your two-factor authentication device
Someone who finds your second factor does not have access to your accounts — they still need your password.
If you’re using SMS two-factor: contact your mobile provider and move your phone number to a new device.
Otherwise: access the account using recovery methods, then remove and re-add two-factor with a new code or device.
