My secret recovery key does not work.

I have 1PW working on my MBP, iPad, and iPhone. I can open the app with my password and view all contents. When I switched from 1PW 7 to 1PW8, I created an emergency kit. The recovery key that was generated was printed and put away safely. Today I tried to log into my 1PW account where the secret key is required...it did not work! I therefore cannot gain access. What can I do to get into my 1PW account?

1Password Version: 8.9.13
Extension Version: 2.5.1
OS Version: Mac OS13.1
Browser:_ Safari

    Hello @davisgl! 👋

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing 1Password. Are you trying to log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app)? If you are then what error message are you receiving?

    The following guide might also help: Find your Secret Key or Setup Code

    I look forward to hearing from you.
