recovery key
I used my recovery key to get into my Mozilla account. A followup email arrived telling me that a new recovery key had been created. But the new key wasn't included in the email. How can I get another recovery key? It's a useful tool. Thanks Wayne Nelson

Hi Wayne,
when you use your Firefox Account recovery key, the old key becomes invalid and a new one is automatically generated. However, Firefox never sends the new recovery key by email for security reasons.
To get your new recovery key, you need to generate it manually: 1. Sign in to your Firefox Account at https://accounts.firefox.com 2. Go to “Manage Account” → “Security” 3. Under “Recovery Key”, click “Create new recovery key” 4. Save the new key somewhere safe — it will be shown only once
If you lose the new key, you can always create another one using the same steps. Hope this helps! Sebastian
