When you set up 2FA, you'll be given a number of emergency tokens. You can use one of these if you can't use your smartphone (eg: if it gets broken, stolen or sold). ''You only get shown these tokens when you sign up and never again'', so make a copy of them by selecting/pasting them from your browser and storing them offline (paper printout or memory stick) in a safe place. If you don't keep these tokens and also have a problem using your authentication device, you '''will be locked out of your account'''!
:These can only be used one time ever each and it may take two of them to turn off 2FA.
