Don't forget to create a backup before resetting, losing or breaking your phone. Suitable apps are OTP auth (iOS) or andOTP (Android) (I do personally use and can recommend these two, but of course there are some other good apps as well). If you have a backup phone, you can easily transfer Google Authenticator to that device.
