I tested Authy, Duo Mobile,LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Google Authenticator and found that all except for Google Authenticator offered a viable means for backing up TOTP seeds and recovering them in the event the phone or other device was lost. The security was passable for all four of the authenticators that offered recovery, but each one also has weaknesses that in extreme cases make them vulnerable to (depending on the app) hackers, malicious insiders, or law enforcement agencies with a court order.
