- climb_stealth 6y agoNot sure about gitlab, but at least on github you get recovery codes that you can use if you don't have access to your phone.
- samanthalee233 6y agoGitLab does have this, here is a link to our docs with more info: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/two_factor_authentication.html#recovery-codes https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/two_factor_a... and how you can regenerate them if you lose them: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/two_factor_authentication.html#generate-new-recovery-codes-using-ssh https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/two_factor_a...
- lebaux 6y agoTo be fair, both GH and GL tell you in painfully obvious ways that those recovery codes are important.
- graton 6y agoMaybe invest in a couple of U2F tokens that you can keep on a keychain or at home.
