Now, backing up the seeds and emergency codes is one thing, but I like this part even more. With at least one Keepass program (KeePassXC) you can actually use the stored seeds to generate tokens as usual. So if you don't have your yubikeys or lost your phone or whatever, your procedure for making use of the backup doesn't have to be "use a backup code and reset 2FA" or "use a backup code and try to remember to remove it from the list(s) later because I'm in a hurry", etc. (It was a bit tricky to actually find where this is done in KeePassXC when I started doing it, will send details if you do this and get stuck on it)
