Why would you label your backup codes as to what they go to? Of course that's silly. But if someone does get your wallet they still need to know the website they are for as well as your login and password. It is low risk.
Or just ignore the backup codes altogether. We mostly have "fake 2fa" - where you can reset your 2fa auth if you lose your device because otherwise customer support would be impossible. Almost every service allows this.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI don't understand this. Many backup code lists do print with very limited or no information on the account they match. But what is the need for this cloak and dagger? A backup code is only one piece of the puzzle and can easily be stored securely, "secreted away" if you will. If I don't label my backup codes with account information, how do I know which code to enter when recovering an account? Trial and error across 20-30 scraps of paper?
