Generate new recovery codes#

Create and save a new set of recovery codes to regain access to two-factor authentication if you loose access to your authentication app.

If for some reason you cannot access the two-factor authentication code for EclecticIQ Intelligence Center in your authentication app, you will not be able to complete the sign-in process.

When you set up two-factor authentication for your user account, you were prompted to store 10 recovery codes.

If you cannot access or retrieve them, you can create a new set of recovery codes at any time.

After creating the set of recovery codes, store them in a safe and accessible place.
