That is an important point - that you should have access to copys of your documents - if everything is stolen and you survive with empty pockets..
the 2Factor authentification is important to protect your accounts and your Accounts and data (specially if you store there too scans of your creditcards). But is a pain if your smartphone and simcard is stolen too.
--> Create a storage or Emailaccount without 2nd Factor for backup
--> Create a password protected 7zip File, which you give a friend for backup.
