How to Use Backup Codes
- Generate backup codes before enabling two-factor authentication
- Save the codes in a secure location (password manager, encrypted file)
- Each code can only be used once
- Use a code if you can't access your authentication app or device
- Generate new codes after using any
Best Practices
- Print or store backup codes in a secure location
- Never share backup codes with anyone
- Regenerate backup codes every 6–12 months
- • Use a password manager to store backup codes securely
- • Keep backup codes separate from your primary authentication device
- • Consider storing a copy in a safe deposit box for critical accounts
