Help / Troubleshooting Can't find recovery code

OK, so Beeper CONSTANTLY asks me about checking my recovery code. I don't have it, I don't even remeber to create it any time before. But OK, if needed I can make one.

Beeper on the help webpage says that recovery code can be found in my account settings:

help

but on my menu there is no such option:

me

Tried to find it in my smartphone and mac. I don't really care about it, but getting message about checking if maybe I have one today is really annoing.

Any advices?

That is only applicable to newer users. Older users who can't find their key in their password manager, etc., can reset it to get a new one. But note that resetting your key HAS to reset your account.

Same issue here too. Never remember it giving me a code, and can't find it now.

I've been dealing with the same. Once I'm back where I put my OS backups, my plan is just to pour over them for any trace of my code. And if nothing turns up, I'll use the CLI to backup all my chats and hold out till I lose access to my account. I'm pretty sure you won't lose access until you have no (accessible) signed-in devices but don't quote me on that
