Download SAML recovery codes

Recovery codes should not be shared or distributed. We recommend saving them with a password manager.

{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %} {% data reusables.organizations.security %}

  1. Under "SAML single sign-on", in the note about recovery codes, click Save your recovery codes. Screenshot of the "SAML single sign-on" section. A link, labeled "Save your recovery codes," is highlighted with an orange outline.

  2. To save your recovery codes, click Download, Print, or Copy.

    [!NOTE] Your recovery codes will help get you back into {% data variables.product.product_name %} if your IdP is unavailable. If you generate new recovery codes the recovery codes displayed on the "Single sign-on recovery codes" page are automatically updated.

  3. Once you use a recovery code to regain access to {% data variables.product.product_name %}, it cannot be reused. Access to {% data variables.product.product_name %} will only be available for 24 hours before you'll be asked to sign in using single sign-on.
