How to get rid of "Make sure recovery codes are up to date"

Question

Body

I have regenerated my recovery codes and viewed them and saved them but I still get a message saying:

Your two-factor authentication recovery codes have not been downloaded or printed in the last one year. Make sure your recovery codes are up-to-date by viewing and downloading or printing them again.

Have I missed a step? What should I do about this?

Hi @stevespages ,

That's odd, by viewing them the warning should disappear; does the green Viewed label appear as in the screenshot below?

[stevespages]

Thanks! Yes I am seeing that but I still get the warning. Screen shot:

You're welcome @stevespages , I know it may be redundant since you have already done this but view and download them again. Sometimes repeating the whole process again fixes things.

Thanks again. I have done that twice now. I might have another go in a day or two.

You're welcome. I see, maybe it's a cache related issue, if by using another browser or clearing the cache the warning disappears, surely that would be the reason.
