How Should I Keep Recovery Codes Secure?

✴️ Recovery codes are an important safety net protecting account account loss. The issue? Where to store them safely.

✴️ Keeping recovery codes secure
There are two general approaches to saving recovery codes: printing them, or saving them in digital form. In both cases keeping them secure is important. This means storing the printed paper somewhere secure, or securely encrypting the digital versions. In either case be sure to create recovery codes before you need them so as to be able to regain access to your account should you ever need to.
