Feature Request: Dedicated Storage for 2FA Backup Codes

bllllent

Upvoting and Reopening: Taken from a past question but wanted to continue to advocate: I would love a cleaner way to store backup codes. As of now, I would either have to paste the whole string of codes into one text field or paste them individually into separate fields.

Since most backup codes are separated by tabs or line-breaks, I would imagine it would be fairly easy for 1Password to detect tabs and line-breaks and automatically create individual fields for each backup code after pasted. Maybe there could even be a new "backup code" option in the field-type drop-down that handles it that way AND only shows one code at a time to keep it clean.

For example:

backup code
1234abcd (0 of 6 used)

@bllllent

Thanks for that excellent suggestion. I'd be happy to let the team know about your interest. I'm curious about the one of six used portion. It would be much cleaner in my opinion. I trying to envision how it might work. Those crafty developers of ours can likely work something out. I can't make a promise on when/if this could be a possibility but the team will know you put forth the idea.

Usually when you get backup codes, you are given up to six... so you can use one and still have some left.

ag_tommy

Oh, I got you there. I was just thinking more from a UI train of though. Sorry for the confusion I was getting ahead of things.

bllllent

I think it could work like the Security Questions.. A Section wth pre-selected labels - Code 1. Maybe also you have have an "active" check box in case you use it.

ag_tommy

Thanks for adding that. I'll get the request updated.

That's an excellent idea. I came to the forum to find out if this feature was already available. The most time-consuming task I have on 1P is manually creating all the fields for Backup codes.

@caebrasil I've let the team know about your interest. Thanks for sharing.
