Recovery code and trusted contacts
Your account can be recovered even if you lose access.
Your recovery code is shown only once, only its hash is stored on the server, and it's renewed after every use. Choose 2–5 trusted friends — they can approve your account recovery (“Approval requests”). You're notified immediately about every recovery attempt and can cancel it from “My security status”.
