2FA Recovery Code

This feature acts as a backup authentication method when a user is unable to access their primary 2FA method. This can happen in situations such as a lost or unavailable device, no access to the authenticator app, or temporary technical issues. In these cases, recovery codes provide a secure way for users to log in and regain access to their accounts. Two Factor Authentication - TFA / Passwordless Login module is compatible with Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, Drupal 10, and Drupal 11.
