Hope this is the write location you wanted the text in?

The problem with SMS as a backup is that then the MFA tokens aren't better than SMS - they still are subvertable with SMS.

But this is probably better than not saying anything at all.

I'm merging this, and if people have better ideas they can add another PR.

Thanks so much for the contribution. Let's keep it going. We're going to be distributing keys relatively soon, we'll need to get this in shape fast :-).
