Two factor auth broke my login for a whole weekend, turns out it was basic

I got locked out of my email last Friday because I got a new phone and forgot to move my authenticator app over. The recovery process asked for a backup code, and I had no idea where I saved those things, probably buried in an old note app. Spent all Saturday trying every password reset option, even called my provider and they couldn't help without the code. On Sunday I found the backup codes in a random folder in my Google Drive, took about 15 minutes to get back in. Does anyone else keep their recovery codes in a weird spot or do you actually print them out?
