2FA recovery keys

For sites that have 2FA is there a place in 1password to save the recovery codes?

    Hi @ae6dx !

    Actually, I'm using a different vault to store recovery codes only. I create a note, name it like I named the login entry and paste in the recovery codes into the notes field. Works good for me so far.

    Hello @ae6dx! 👋

    Do you mean the backup recovery codes that some websites provide in case you lose your 2FA authenticator app? If the answer is yes then 1Password doesn't currently have a specific dedicated location to save these codes. While I can't make any promises, I have added your feature request to our internal tracker so our developers can consider it as they are looking into new features to add to future versions of 1Password.

    In the meantime, the best option would be to create a new Text field in the Login item for a particular website and save the recovery codes there. 🙂
