# Retrieving your recovery codes

If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled but can't receive a verification code, you can use a recovery code. For example, if your device is lost or stolen. It's important that you retrieve your recovery codes and keep them in a safe place.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend that you retrieve your codes in the web manager because you have the option to download them or copy them to your device's clipboard.
{% endhint %}

When you set up 2FA, the system generates 10 recovery codes. You can use each code only once. If you complete either of the following methods to retrieve your recovery codes, only unused recovery codes are listed.
