Handling Your Backup Codes

-Backup codes should be stored in a secure but accessible location (such as a locked drawer or cabinet) while not in use.

-Generating new backup codes will invalidate your previous backup codes.

-Backup codes will expire after four months; The expiration date is displayed on the print-out below the passcodes.

-Each code can only be used once so we recommend crossing them off as you use them.
