Traveling internationally (question) (lemm.ee)

So I’ll be traveling in such a way that I’ll be crossing the US border. I want to take a burner phone so I can wipe it, or have innocuous enough data. The problem: all my passwords are stored in a password manager that uses 2FA tied to my primary phone which will be sitting at home (along with other sites that use 2FA tied to authenticators on my phone).

So remembering passwords is out. And not having access to 2FA presents a catch-22. So what’s the best way to approach that?

Can't access the cloud without my passwords!

Guess I'll be traveling with a handful of USBs with my encrypted totp keys.

Also, my phone has a duress password, anyone know if I could just get away with traveling with my phone as-is and just giving them my duress PW if need be?
