Actually have to do it: I see, but really, dear real user, you are adept at printing pages, you do it quickly and masterfully, just click the button now.

Remember where you put it: the answer is trivial and always the same, "your wallet". The tech support will remind you to look in your wallet if you come to them with your problem.



Yup - let me just go get my "wallet binder" from the storage yard I have to keep it in after adding 800 pages of backup codes (which is literally not an exaggeration - I have more than 800 active accounts between personal/work/contracting).

Let me just bind this fucking book over here, after I ran out of printer ink twice while printing it, and shove that right on into my little wallet flap.

Perfect! Why didn't I think of this sooner!


Most people don't have printers on standby. Most wallets have lifetimes way shorter than those of account rescue codes. Everything else in a wallet - government-issued IDs, bank cards, etc. - has lifetimes way shorter than those of account rescue codes.
