Hello Oddycm! 👋

Thank you for helping us test passkey unlock in our public beta! As you mentioned, you are required to enter your recovery code as part of the recovery code creation process in order to confirm that the recovery code is correct:

You're also give the opportunity to save a file called 1Password recovery code.txt which contains your recovery code.

That being said, I'm happy to pass along your request to the team. Just so that I can better understand: are you worried that someone might change your copy of the recovery code? Is your goal to be able to confirm your recovery code from time to time? And, if you're concerned about the integrity of your recovery code, why not just generate a new recovery code? Once I know more I'll be able to file a feature request on your behalf. 🙂
