recovery key not found

Today I was having issues with my 1password vault password on my phone, so I went to the app on my computer and created a recovery key.

I then tried to log in to the computer using the recovery key that I had just created and the system said the a user with that recovery key can't be found. 

Is there a delay in how soon a recovery key can be used? I had just created it moments prior. 

Thanks.
