recovery keys for OTP [feature]

[Leptopoda]

Expected Behavior

some services (e.g. GItHub) give you one time recovery/backup codes when 2FA/OTP is enabled

Current Behavior

Currently the only option is to write them into the "Notes" sector but because those are one time you have to edit the entry every time to delete the current one

Possible Solution

This is handled by #1167

Sorry for reviving this old ticket, but the related PR is not related to this feature request? It's about generating a QR code from the stored secret, this feature request is for adding first-class support for storing recovery tokens handed out by services without having to use the Notes field. Can we reopen this?

Note: KeePassOTP stores the recovery codes in the attribute KeePassOTP.RecoveryCodes, maybe we should support this attribute as well.

Why is that necessary? Notes is a great place to store them, or make your own attribute. This absolutely doesn't need a GUI feature.

You are completely right. My idea was an extra field for storing secrets that can be marked as already used.
This is indeed a very old issue so you might be better of opening a new one. (as this one didn't ever gain any traction).
