Well, something like this has actually happened to me with the 2FA, and especially about 3 years ago I had a problem with an exchange where I lost my 2FA and I had to send a very rigorous kyc so that they could give me access, that was something very The truth is tedious, I would not want to go through something like this again, it seems to me that nobody should, and as you say, laziness took possession of me at that moment, but private keys, 2FA attestations should always be kept very well guarded, on flash drives, cds, anything but the cloud, because that is our source of security.

Its a bad idea keeping a copy of your 2FA backup keys on cds or flash drives or any other digital format in a raw text, but if you do, you should always encrypt those with a strong password.
You should do to your 2FA backup key the same you do to your seed phrase or private keys.

Exactly since doing that could make you still at risk of hacking so best to store your back up keys out on your PC. Maybe use different device such as smart phones so that you can secure your accounts for any unwanted incidents. But we shouldn't rely only on 2fa security or backing it up since we also need to be careful on the links we are typing since there are phising sites or clicking any unknown links since there are malware that can penetrate to our accounts, just play simple without being curious on anything and for sure you are accounts is so safe.

Curiosity isnt bad but there are really moments or times on which it isnt really that recommendable on dealing up with something specially if it does really look shady and its better to make yourself a little bit paranoid when it comes to security measure which is really that more better than on really that being too confident when it comes to security.This isnt only applying for account protection but also into that common wallet
on where we do store up our funds or assets. Always mind off about the security and safety because there are lots of hackers and scammers nowadays.

Yes curiosity is sometimes not bad actually we can learn many things due to our curiosity but we also need to take this in proper way like I said always use separate device if you are curious to click a unwanted link so that your accounts stored will be safe from any harm.

Security measures should be taken more seriously since hackers has so many method use just to exploit user so before them to outsmart us we need to do many counter measure to make sure that any of it cannot penetrate to our systems.
