## How to generate new recovery codes

Have you lost your recovery codes? You can generate new codes at any time. You can use a recovery code to log in to your Plausible account if you lose access to your authenticator app or your trusted device.

* In your Plausible account settings, find the “**Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**” section and click the “**Generate new**” link.
<img alt="Generate new 2FA recovery codes" src={useBaseUrl('img/generate-new-recovery-codes-2FA.png')} />
* Confirm your account password and click the “**Generate New Codes**” button.
<img alt="Generate new 2FA recovery codes" src={useBaseUrl('img/enter-password-to-generate-new-codes-2FA.png')} />
* Store your new recovery codes somewhere safe and click the “**Finish**” button to complete the process.

Note that when you generate new recovery codes, your old recovery codes will become invalid.

## How to disable 2FA

* In your Plausible account settings, find the “**Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**” section and click on the “**Disable 2FA**” button.
<img alt="Disable 2FA" src={useBaseUrl('img/disable-2FA.png')} />
* Then enter your account password and click the “**Disable 2FA**” button to complete the process.

Note that once you turn off the 2FA, verification codes from the authenticator application and saved recovery codes will become invalid.
