Good point. We have recovery keys for this. These are 12 word random phrases generated from a 1952 word list (about 131 bits of entropy).

They require email authentication to redeem, so a recovery key by itself isn't sufficient to access an account, though of course they do need to be protected.

An org admin can also re-invite a user that loses access this way. The only scenario where you're really in trouble is if you're the only admin, you lose access to your only authorized device, and you lose access to your recovery key.
