I've had this happen to me, but I was prepared for it, so it wasn't really a problem.

The use of an authenticator app would be my primary way to ensure access to my Gmail/Google Apps accounts.

As a way of a back-up, in the event my 'phone should fail etc, I have also taken screenshots of the QR codes for my accounts, and they are saved on various devices I would always have to hand - so a re-scan of the QR code to an authenticator app, and I'm (fingers crossed!) back in business.

And, yes, I have tested the saved QR codes, and they do work.
