You can set up alternates...plus you still have the code you can use that you can print out.

I like the two-factor authentication and have been using it for awhile now. However, there is one giant, stupendous hole in it that hopefully you will never fall into. I have a friend who has used two factor authentication for awhile and who also owns an Android phone. She's pretty big on the Google ecosystem. She's got her gmail account set up and her nicely tied in Android phone and everything is sweet. Until the phone barfs a hairball as they do sometimes and she takes it into Verizon. Verizon wipes the phone (not bothering to ask her but that's another issue) and resets it. Great. In order to set up the phone, you have to log into your Google account. Except the Google account has two factor authentication, so you have to authorize the phone to connect to your Google account. Which you do by having Goggle send a message to your phone (which is the second authentication factor)...which you can't get into because it hasn't been set up yet because you can't get into Google with it. D'oh. Certain situations, two factor authentication becomes a recursive rabbit hole that you cannot escape. The rest of the time, it is awesome security and a good idea.
