A set of recovery codes will also be issued to you. Store these codes in a safe place, you will need them in case your authenticator app stops working or you do not have access to your device.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Each recovery code can only be used once.

You can renew your recovery codes by clicking on the `Reset recovery codes` button.

Using the `Reset authenticator app` button you can set up your authenticator app again if it stops working or you get a new device. Resetting also invalidates the codes from your old device, helping you protect your account if your mobile is lost or stolen.&#x20;
