Feature Request - Tracking Recovery Codes for 2FA on Accounts / Sites
I can add an additional text section and label it recovery codes, or just copy/paste recover codes for a site into the existing notes section of the account, so this would be a nice to have.

I second this request. 1Password keeps my password hidden on-screen, so even if I bring it up during a meeting where I share the screen, nobody is able to see my password.
However, the most viable option for keeping recovery codes is to put them in the notes section or a text field, both of which defaults to being visible.
The password field is not optimal since it smushes everything together as one long string, and isn't as easy to copy just a part out of. It does, however, default to hide the contents.
Ideally I would like for 1Password to accept a paste from the clipboard with delimited recovery codes (spaces, newlines, etc.), then show them as one field for Recovery Codes, which also shows how many such codes are left. Then copying such a code would copy the next code, and you would also just have an option to remove used code, possibly as part of the copy function. The field would also remind you to grab a new set from the site when you use the 1-3 last codes.
This is just a niche thing though, I have ever only used recovery codes like a handful of times, and not on the same site, so me running out of codes for a site is for future me.
However, a multiline password field would be a very good compromise, however, or the ability to configure notes to not show by default (possibly just an application option with a button or expand function to show when needed).
