Generate Recovery Codes for Two-step Verification

Users having two step verification enabled can now use recovery codes to regain access to the accounts. Once the user registers for Two-step Verification device, eight Recovery Codes are generated and displayed on the screen. Each code can be used only once. Users can download the codes in .txt file to use them in case they lose the device to generate the recovery code.

Note: If the user loses their device or can not access their authentication codes, they can use these codes to login. We strongly recommend saving the codes to a safe place.

To generate new recovery codes, the device needs to be re-registered again.

These recovery codes are visible to other users as well. In case a user does not have the recovery codes, they can ask other users who have access to the Users module to look for their recovery codes and share with them.

In case all eight recovery codes are used and then the user loses the device, the user will not be able to log into QMetry without having their two-step verification device removed and set up again.

Using Recovery Code:

Click on the Login with Recovery Code link on the QMetry Login screen. Enter the recovery code in the next screen. The recovery code will be removed from the recovery code list in the Users module once it is used.
