Just a reminder, if your 2FA codes are stored in your cloud provider along with the passwords, you don't have 2FA anymore.
Do NOT turn on Google Authenticator sync as it significantly decreases your security and apparently gives Google access to them..
If you want to backup your codes, buy a dedicated memory card for your point and shoot camera, and take photos of the QR codes obtained via Transfer accounts -> Export accounts.
Also, bad security features like this should not exist. Normal people do not understand how dangerous this is, and will use it for the convince factor.
When their Google account is compromised, and their have their money drained, they'll be like, "how did this happen? I had 2FA enabled!" It was all because using this feature means that they didn't have 2FA anymore.
