sanity check: vultr 2FA backup codes
I lost my phone recently and with it, my 2FA application. Thankfully, for most services, I had generated backup codes for just this contingency.
However, when I went to use said codes at Vultr, there was no way I could find to do so.
Am I nuts or do they give you a way to generate backup codes, but not use them?

Ah, nevermind. I didn't understand that the same field in the 2FA form was used for both a token issued by the 2FA app (Google Authenticator) and a previously generated backup code.
