Having MFA for users signing-in is more than a good idea. But what if they forgot or loose their MFA device? Or the data on the smartphone app is lost? Then it’s good if you can provide an alternative sign-in method with recovery codes as a second factor. Keycloak comes with this option out-of-the-box! You just have to enable the feature and configure the authentication flow appropriately. See this video for all the details you have to know!
