# Using a recovery code to log in

If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled but can't receive a verification code, you can use a recovery code. The recovery codes were generated when you set up 2FA.

You must still enter a username and password to complete the first step in authentication before you can use a recovery code. If you can't remember your password, see [managing-your-password](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/managing-your-account/managing-your-password "mention").

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can use each recovery code only once.
