Multi-factor authentication recovery codes

Recovery codes are used to login in the event access is lost to an authenticator app.

Updated yesterday

When first setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) a set of recovery codes are displayed and should be stored for future use. These codes can be used to login when you don’t have access to your MFA authenticator app.

Note: A set of recovery codes can only be used to login once and are not a replacement for an authenticator app.
