Description
Generate a new set of backup codes for your account.
This action requires 2FA verification to prevent unauthorized regeneration.
WARNING: This will invalidate all existing backup codes!
Any previously generated codes will no longer work.
Backup codes are one-time use codes that allow you to log in
if you lose access to your primary 2FA method (lost phone, etc).
You should regenerate your backup codes if:
• You’ve used several codes and are running low
• You think your codes may have been compromised
• You lost your saved codes and need new ones
Important: Save the new codes in a secure location immediately!
They will not be shown again.
