How to generate backup verification codes for LastPass?

bill

I'm using Google Authenticator as my 2FA device to log into LastPass.

Most sites let you generate a list of backup verification codes to be used if you lose your 2FA device.

If it's possible, how do I generate these codes for LastPass?

LastPass doesn't have a master code, they have something call Grid. The way the grid works is that it generates a custom grid which you print out or export to a CSV file. When you login and it ask for a 2fa, you can select the grid method and it will prompt for 4 digit using grid coordinates. This is fairly similar to the printed code.

Note that this is only for 2FA so if you forget your master password, you won't be able to login. Backup code for google are just for 2FA, too.

That's exactly what I was looking for, and I never would have guessed it by the description on the page.

Many thanks for your informative answer!
