If you lose access to your authentication device, you can use one of these recovery codes to log in to your account, then set up MFA on a different device. Each code may be used only once. 

To use one of the recovery codes to log in, please:

 

  1. Navigate to EmailMeForm site, locate "Login", then enter your email address and your password, after that click "Log In".
