Recovery codes

3 min read · updated 2026-10-15

Enrolling in 2FA issues ten one-time recovery codes. Each works exactly once at the sign-in code prompt, in place of an authenticator code. They exist for one scenario: your authenticator device is gone and you still need in.

Shown once, never readable again

The codes are displayed a single time, at enrollment (with download and copy buttons). After that SleeveFolio keeps only a scrambled one-way version of each code. Nobody, including us, can read your codes back. If you didn’t save them, turn 2FA off and back on to mint a fresh set (see below).

Getting a fresh set

There is no one-click regenerate. To get a fresh set of ten, turn 2FA off and back on. On the two-factor card under Settings → Account, choose Disable 2FA (this asks for a current code from your authenticator app; a recovery code won’t work here), then enroll again: scan the QR and verify a code. The moment you re-enroll, a brand-new set of ten appears and every old code stops working, so any saved copies of the old set become useless paper. Re-enrolling also issues a new authenticator entry, so you’ll re-scan the QR into your app. Your old authenticator entry stops working too. Because 2FA is one of the Paper → Live gate’s conditions, disabling it while you’re live reverts your account to paper in the same step: the PAPER/LIVE indicator in the top bar drops to PAPER and live auto-execute (automatic trading on your live account) switches off. Once you’ve re-enrolled, go live again through the full ceremony (and re-enable live auto-execute separately if you use it); nothing re-arms on its own.
