Recovery codes
Generate, store, and test recovery codes before requiring a second factor for critical accounts.
WordPress 2FA lockout recovery
Plan recovery before enforcement.
Awthy treats lockout prevention, support-safe resets, and owner recovery as launch requirements, not cleanup work.
Recovery controls to prepare
Solo-owner limits
A solo admin needs an off-dashboard recovery plan because one lost device can become a business outage.
Support-safe resets
Support can guide recovery, but it must not ask for recovery codes, authenticator secrets, passwords, or raw security logs.
What recovery cannot promise
Recovery planning reduces lockout risk, but it does not guarantee access in every hosting, email, plugin, browser, or account-ownership scenario.
Awthy does not publish a generic recovery bypass. Recovery needs explicit ownership checks and an audit trail.
