Backup Verification codes
What are Backup Verification codes?
Backup verification codes are a set of 12 digit codes that you can generate when you enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your Zoho account. You can use these codes if you lose your MFA device or have trouble signing in. Each code can be used only once and you need to generate a new set of codes once you have used them all.
If you don't have backup verification codes, please contact Zoho Accounts Support.
How to generate new backup verification codes?
If you have not generated backup verification codes before, you can generate them from Zoho Accounts.
- Sign in to your Zoho Account.
- In the accounts panel, click Multi-factor Authentication.
- Click MFA Recovery Modes, then click Generate New Codes.
- You can save those codes as a text file or print them.
Sign in to your Zoho account using backup verification codes
If you have uninstalled OneAuth or lost your MFA device, you can regain access to your Zoho account using a backup verification code.
- Go to the Zoho Accounts.
- Enter your email address, then click NEXT.
- Enter your account password.
- Click SIGN IN.
- In the verification page, click Problem signing in?
