# Recovery Codes

Recovery codes in 2-step verification are a set of one-time-use codes that allow you to log into your account even if your primary 2-step verification device (like a phone or authenticator app) is lost, stolen, or inaccessible.

# Download Recovery Codes

MoEngage provides a set of 10 recovery codes when setting up or resetting 2-step verification on your device. MoEngage also allows you to generate new recovery codes if you use all of the previous ones.

You can download recovery codes in the following scenarios:

* When setting up 2-step verification on your device for the first time. For more information, refer to [Set Up 2-Step Verification on Your Device](/user-guide/getting-started/initial-setup/set-up-2-step-verification-on-your-device).
* When resetting 2-step verification on your device. For more information, refer to [Reset 2-Step Verification on Your Device](/user-guide/getting-started/initial-setup/reset-2-step-verification-on-your-device).
