General steps; menu names vary. Status.io's own guide has the exact screens.

  1. Sign in to Status.io and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. Status.io's own guide shows the exact screens.
  2. Request or register your Yubico OTP as the service describes.
  3. Save the backup codes. Keep them in your password manager or print them; they're your way back in if you lose your phone or key.
