I'm using multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log into the Amazon AWS console. I'm using Google Authenticator on my Android phone to generate the one-time tokens.Other services sometimes provide one-time backup codes in case the token device is lost or damaged. Is there a way I can save some one-time backup codes for AWS MFA?
Can I generate backup codes for AWS multi-factor authentication (MFA)?

You can create redundant code before your device is lost or a reason. Deactivate MFA, then configure and enable a virtual MFA device for use. Make a secure backup of the secret configuration key or QR code.For example, if you lose the smartphone where the virtual MFA app is configured. Google Authenticator  Set up account  Enter provided keyAccount name: (root-account-mfa-device@xxxxxxxxxxx)Enter your key: (secret configuration key)
