Backup verification codes

Backup verification codes allow users to bypass the second factor of authentication when they don't have access to their phone or face issues with any of the authentication modes. When enabled, a total of five codes will be generated for the users to store safely. Once a code is used, it will become obsolete and cannot be used again. The users also have the option to generate new codes.
