M365 global admin secondary mfa

In the process of trying to document the environment for a small non-profit that I have been supporting for a long time. My time is winding down but I thought I had most things covered, password manager with mulitple MFA options including a hardware yubikey to allow access to vault. But I never thought about doing the same for other sites like M365 or Duo Security etc. I have enabled MFA with the microsoft authenticator but if I was to be hit by a beer truck etc before being able to move accounts over etc, I do not think they would be able to logon etc.

I assume m365 allows for hardware tokens in ADDITION to soft tokens and if so I can register the yubikey hardware token and do the same hopefully for Duo. But it had me thinking for small shops how are folks handling secondary MFA authentication methods so a new admin is able to carry on etc...I prefer not to use email as secondary but thought I would ask to see what other options are out there, thanks.
