How to backup 2FA (lemm.ee)

So basically what title says.

Im using 2FA with google authenticator for multiple accounts. What if my phone gets stolen? Can I have some kind of backup? Or maybe sync with some self hosted service?

Bonus question: what 2FA should I use instead of google?

Thank you all for tips. I got Aegis and backing it up to my selfhosted nextcloud. I will also keep google app in use for now, but I might get keypassxc or vaultwarden in the future

Cheers

As a user of Nextcloud, Aegis, and Vaultwarden, I can say it's a great set of tools. I don't know how I ever got by without Bitwarden/Vaultwarden.
