Backup Verification codes
What are backup verification codes?
- Once generated, the backup codes will not be displayed again. You will have to save them when you generate them.
- Each code can only be used once to recover your account.
- If you have used up all your codes or lost them, you can always generate a new set of backup codes.
- Whenever you generate a new set of codes, the old unused codes will become invalid.
How to generate backup verification codes?
- Sign in at accounts.zoho.com.
- Click Multi-factor Authentication in the left menu.
- Click MFA Recovery Options , then click Generate new codes.
Note (for organization users): Organization admins can set up and enforce policies that restrict you from generating backup verification codes. If you are not shown the option to generate the codes, contact your administrator for clarification. - You can either copy those codes and save them, or download them as a file and view them using a text editor.
