I'd just like to +1 this feature request. Keeping recovery codes in a notes section is unwieldy:

  • the default action on a text block is to copy the whole thing, but that's never useful for this case
  • after you use a recovery code, it should be removed, or at least crossed-off.

I am using a notes block for these now and never really have to use these except that certain sign-up flows are now checking that you've saved these somewhere by requiring you to enter one of the recovery codes before they fully enable 2FA (I most recently saw this on Wave Financial). Setting this up was a pretty clunky edit/save/edit/save cycle in 1Password.
