Feature request - save 2FA Backup Codes

I'm setting up 2FA and using 1Password for many of my online accounts, but this request could be useful for people using other authenticator apps. As you know, some sites provide a set of "Backup Codes" which you can use in case you don't have access to your authenticator app. I'd like to request a dedicated field in the Login where we could paste in the backup codes. Obviously we could just use the Notes field but I think this is worth having it's own field. Thank you.

+1 for tables and +1 for a new "section" type to hold the backup codes. That is, in the same way you have a section type for security questions, it would be great to have one for backup codes that automatically fills in 10 fields with "backup code 1", ... "backup code 10"

I personally put my backup codes in a "password" type field. It does the job for me!

+1 backup codes are a great suggestion.

Thanks to @agaton for pointing out that security questions are in there now.

Also I just noticed that the Firefox extension for 1Password now works, ie. it brings up the inline menu for login choices. Thanks!! (I'm now running the nightly 1Password 8 for Mac and the Firefox Nightly along with the macOS beta- living on the bleeding edge is usually fun).
