![]() Remember that EACH CODE can only be used ONCE. Delete that code from your list as soon as you use it. Copy it and enter it manually (or paste it, if that option is available) at the 2FA web site. Get one Backup Code from the "NOTES" in the "log in" where you stored them. Now when you need a Backup Code, just open your Norton Password Manager VAULT and press "EDIT" on your Backup Codes label "log in" (DON'T press "log in". In the "Notes" on that new "log in", list all your Backup Codes.ĥ. Let Norton generate a password for it that corresponds to that label. Just add a "log in" that doesn't actually go anywhere (leave the link unfilled) and label it as a place you know you have your Backup Codes. The Norton Password Manager VAULT is the perfect storage location for 2FA Backup Codes. It is VERY IMPORTANT to make sure you store your Backup codes in a location that is BOTH safe AND one you can get to quickly. This is where the Norton Password Manager Vault shines!Ĥ. After you use the first ten codes, they issue you ten more, and so on.). This is considered less secure, but as long as nobody but you can get to those Backup Codes, it works fine (You use them up one by one, each time you log in. ![]() ![]() When a web site requires that you have 2FA, the only way to get around using a FIDO-compliant USB Security Key is to download Backup Codes from that web site, if they offer that as a 2FA alternative to a USB Security Key.

Also, though the Raptor app is free, you need to pay them a small fee for access to an electronic "Master Key", which you will need if your USB Key is damaged or lost, as you will not be able to log in to your computer without it (NOTE: You can set the Raptor App to give the person logging in without the Key inserted up to 20 seconds - default setting is 15 seconds - to disable 2FA before the computer locks them out. The Raptor app does convert a USB Flash memory stick into a Security Key, BUT it is ONLY useful for your own computer log in, NOT for different web sites on the internet that require 2FA. After studying USB Computer Security Keys in general, and the Raptor app in particular, I came up with the following infromation I will now share for the good of the Norton Community:ġ.
