Recovery Code Generator
Create random recovery-code candidates in your browser; use them only with services that let you register custom codes.
Guided walkthrough
Guided walkthrough
Create recovery-code-shaped random values.
- Choose 1 to 20 codes.
- Only when ready, use the tool’s generate button to create fresh, unpredictable values. Check the chosen options and keep any real secret private.
Illustrative example
Choose 3 codes. Each has 16 characters arranged as four groups of four, separated by hyphens.
How to read the result
These values are not registered with any service and cannot recover an account by themselves. Use the recovery codes actually issued or accepted by the service.

Quick answer
Create random recovery-code candidates in this browser. They work only if your account provider lets you register custom recovery codes; save registered codes somewhere secure.
The page and its assets load from the site; this operation uses your entered values only in this browser and does not send them to a calculation endpoint.
How to use it
Choose how many 16-character code candidates to create. These are not connected to an account; use them only if the account provider lets you register custom recovery codes. Copy and store registered codes securely; this page does not keep a copy.
Limits
These strings are not activated or registered with an account. The fixed format may not match a provider’s requirements; follow its recovery setup and keep a secure copy. If you close the page before saving, the codes cannot be recovered here.
Frequently asked questions
Can this page restore codes after I close it?
No. The page does not keep a copy. Save codes before leaving and follow the provider’s recovery setup instructions.
Should recovery codes be stored with my password?
Keep them in a secure location that remains accessible if you lose access to the account. Consider the provider’s guidance and your recovery plan.
Will these codes unlock my account as soon as I generate them?
No. They are not connected to or registered with an account. Use them only if the provider lets you register custom recovery codes; otherwise use the codes issued in its own recovery setup.
What format does this tool create?
Each candidate has 16 characters from an ambiguity-reduced alphabet and is displayed in four-character groups. A provider may require a different format.
