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.

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

+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"

As an extension of this request, could we also get the table syntax turned on in the Markdown parser? I just encountered a site that only offers the Grid-style of 2FA for its accounts. My intention was to simply recreate it in the Notes field as a Markdown table, but the parser didn't render it. Then when I was reading the parser's documentation, I found:
Further, it optionally supports parsing footnotes, GitHub-Flavored tables, GitHub-Flavored task lists and strikethrough. [1]
I made do using Pandoc to turn the Markdown table I'd made into a PDF and uploading that as an attachment to 1Password, but it's one hell of a kludge compared to just being able to see it in table format in the Notes. I think a strong case can be made for all four of those elements to be turned on in the Notes field, in fact.

Oh wow - is this in 1P7? I'm not seeing options there.

While we're at it - maybe those security questions and answers? "What was your first pet?" etc.
