I thought I had backup codes figured out but think that has more to do with my google account vs the GA app. You can generate 10 b/u codes for your google account but not sure that helps me resolve losing my phone with the app on it.

Google Authenticator is installed on your phone, so if you lose your phone, you lose your codes.
If you don't have backup codes for every account setup, it becomes a nightmare to deal with.
That is why I have been using Authy, as I can recover on a second device.
