Emergency Kit is Misleading - 2FA fail
Emergency kit is misleading if you have 2FA enabled.
It should at least come with warning saying "Since your account appears to have 2FA enabled (at time of generation of this pdf), you will need a backup of the 2FA QR code or setup key, or still have access to another device with the 2FA code, to fully recover your account autonomously. Please note the QR code below, confusing as it is, isn't your 2FA QR code,"
The warning should happen as a modal pop-up at generation, and as disclaimer on the PDF, imo.
How many people think they are covered by the emergency kit but simply aren't, many many I guess, perhaps this was designed at a time when 2FA wasn't fully supported, or usage of 2FA was minimal across the 1password user base?

I removed that screenshot as it appeared you may have included part of your Emergency Kit. Do you have any questions that we can help you with?

ag_tommy, I'm not currently experiencing problems, I think the point of my message is missed. Reviewing my backup recovery plans. I'm saying that the Emergency Kit is near useless for 2FA users, but more calling out that this isn't highlighted anywhere.
Or are you saying that individual membership aren't effected by the large omission and that emergency kit on individual plans does include the 2FA setup key or QR code when 2FA is enabled on the account?

Just merely making a point if anyone was experiencing the situation, they should contact their admin or contact us for assistance. You can also write the 2FA information on my emergency paperwork. 2FA is not enabled when someone initially prints their Emergency Kit. It certainly needs more thought given on how to best address this.
