    I just use additional passwords as recovery answers.

    Username: tiddysprinkles
    
    Password: fhg@t2Gxs7...
    
    What street did you grow up on: D$pvEb4...
    
    What was your first pets name: xwDu#&8w...
    

    Like, okay, so an adversary wants to crack into my account. They’re going to need the unique email addresses for that account, my 60+ character passwords (100+ when allowed), my TOTP… Or the email, and three 60+ passwords…

    At some point I’ll need to call up cs for something and answer D$pvEb4… as the street I grew up on. But it’s been a decade+ without a problem…
