Feature Request - Tracking Recovery Codes for 2FA on Accounts / Sites
I can add an additional text section and label it recovery codes, or just copy/paste recover codes for a site into the existing notes section of the account, so this would be a nice to have.
I'd find it convenient and useful to have 1Password be able to track Recovery Codes for different accounts/sites as a feature of the product. I can manually track it, but I haven't found a way to add a default recovery codes section to all accounts yet, and it just seems like something that is so common that I'd like it to be a feature.

I add my recovery codes in the notes sections of the item. It supports Markdown formatting.

That's what I'm also doing for now. Thanks Tommy.

Hi @jtcp27827, thanks for letting us know that this is your current workaround! I've passed your suggestion for a method of keeping track of 2FA recovery codes along to our product team in the form of a feature request. If you have any further suggestions or questions, let us know 😄

I'd just like to +1 this feature request. Keeping recovery codes in a notes section is unwieldy:
- it makes for a big ugly block of text that looks way more prominent than it really is
- the default action on a text block is to copy the whole thing, but that's never useful for this case
- after you use a recovery code, it should be removed, or at least crossed-off.
I am using a notes block for these now and never really have to use these except that certain sign-up flows are now checking that you've saved these somewhere by requiring you to enter one of the recovery codes before they fully enable 2FA (I most recently saw this on Wave Financial). Setting this up was a pretty clunky edit/save/edit/save cycle in 1Password.
