Your backup codes were provided at the time you set up 2FA. To verify your identity, instead of entering the code from your authenticator app, click on "Try another method", select "Use a backup code", and follow the instructions to log in.

What if I lose my phone or verification device?

When you first set up 2-step verification, you will receive a set of six backup text codes. You can use these codes to access your account in the event that you lose your verification device. Each backup code can only be used once. To verify your identity, instead of entering the code from your authenticator app, click on "Try another method", select "Use a backup code", and follow the instructions to log in.
