>hope you saved your 16-character code
Why do I have a 24 character code? Did I write down the wrong thing?

I clearly said recovery code not backup code, but for people who aren't pedantic Jow Forums virgins they're used interchangeably anyway.
>Google authenticator has you use one-time use recovery to disable 2FA then re-enable it on a different device.
So what happens if your phone takes a shit unexpectedly and you need to set up the app on a new phone? You need the RE-COV-ER-Y CODE. Read it slow and don't strain your brain cell too hard.
Carson Collins
If you do that will the app be recovered with all the separate 2FAs for each site in it or do you have to re-input them manually?

How do you know about /biz but don't know to back up your 2fa

To be honest, time based 2FA vie Google Authenticator isn't that well explained on most exchanges, when they display the QR Code.
The "recovery code" and the QR Code that is displayed when you setup 2FA the first time is the exact same thing (the QR Code contains this code). It's a unique key that, together with the exact current time on your Smartphone, can generate one time passwords that are verified by the other side (exchange website).
This 2FA code (or just a screenshot of the QR code) you have to backup, and it can be used on multiple devices as well.

still need email and phone access

>there are people who don't print out their QR codes in addition to their backup codes
lol

I've never had to do it myself, but I would guess that when you recover/install on a new device, all your accounts should still be linked with your app.
