Where do you keep those recovery codes and how do you get to them? Especially if, say, you drop your phone in a well while abroad?

Every service I've used that does recovery codes (usually required when enabling TOTP 2FA), basically yells at you HERE ARE YOUR RECOVERY CODES, SAVE THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE AND PRINT THEM OUT AS HARD COPY when you get to the point of setup where they'd be activated. This is not something, I think, that is actually worth worrying about people overlooking.
