Usage Notes

This node has a single output edge: it proceeds regardless of whether the user downloaded the codes, making the download optional within the flow. Consider enabling Show Regenerate Codes Option in account management flows so users can refresh their codes after using one. Caution: backup codes are sensitive credentials; advise users to store them securely and not share them.
