Feature Request: A better way to store MFA Recovery Codes
Today, when presented with a set of recovery codes, I have multiple options to store it:
Put them as passwords
- Password field strips linebreak, so I'd need to input them one by one
- This works, but very clunky; inputting a dozen of recovery codes as password type fields would easily take me over a minute
Put it in a file, and add it as file attachment
- This works too, but also clunky; I would need to put it in a file somewhere to attach it (and remember to remove it afterwards)
- Accessing the codes is probably clunky too (I can use Quick Look/Preview in macOS but not sure about other devices)
Put it in the notes
- This is the easiest, but ideally they should be hidden as passwords are, as they are short and anyone can steal a glance as it shows up on the screen
- The notes section already supports markdown; it's not in the original spec, but a nice way to solve this is by adding spoiler (e.g. Reddit, Discord, StackOverflow) or collapsible element (e.g. GitHub) support
Ideally I think it would be nice if there's a dedicated field type for recovery codes, what do you think?

Hi @s4nji!
Ideally I think it would be nice if there's a dedicated field type for recovery codes, what do you think?
Thank you for the suggestion! I can see how this could be useful to you, so while I cannot make any promises, I can tell you that I have shared your feedback internally :)
