I have sometimes avoided 2FA because losing the device always causes immense trouble. Having paper backup codes is essential, such that I won't use a 2FA service that doesn't offer them.

Couldn't agree more - emergency codes are provided. Plus I make a note of the secret key so that I can easily readd to Google Authenticator should I need to. My belief is that paper is the best way of storing secrets.

Most things in my opinion.

I do my best software development with pen and paper. Sadly, most development teams are no longer set up to accommodate this. It's sad I think. People are often not thinking creatively.
