So, GitHub suggests storing the 2fa recovery codes in your password manager. However, this kind of has the worst properties:

In case an attacker gets access to my password manager, they can use the recovery code to take over my account, so the second factor is useless.

In case I lose access to my password manager and 2fa secret (like I did yesterday), I can not use the recovery code to regain access to my account.

How do you store your recovery codes?
