Using backup codes

Think of your backup codes like spare keys to a house. You'll want to tuck them away in a safe place where you can easily access them, because you’ll need them to log in if you’re unable to access your security key and your 2FA app isn’t working.

Safely storing backup codes

Save to a password manager - Most Secure

A password manager is the safest place to store your Backup Codes. You can download one or use a browser version.

Print backup codes

Print or write down your Backup Codes, and keep them in a safe place (like with a passport).

Save on your laptop

Save your Backup Codes locally on a computer only you have access to.

Generating new backup codes

If you've used up or misplaced your backup codes, you can generate new ones by going to Settings > Security, then clicking Generate Codes.
