These notes are synchronized over iCloud, end-to-end encrypted using a password, and can be opened on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Others recommended storing the backup codes in a locked note inside Apple's Notes app. I didn't want to adopt a solution that wasn't available on all the platforms I use regularly. However, notes stored in iCloud Keychain aren't accessible on iOS and iPadOS. Storing the backup codes in iCloud Keychain sounds like a good idea at first since I would already use iCloud Keychain to store usernames, passwords, and credit cards.

This can also be done through preferences in Safari on the Mac. I added my credit cards to iCloud Keychain from Settings -> Safari -> AutoFill on my iPhone. Deciding where to store my credit card information was easy because iCloud Keychain has support for credit cards. For example, the pin code for my suitcase.Īs I was moving usernames, passwords and two-factor authentication codes to iCloud Keychain, I took the opportunity to reconsider where I could store my other data as well.
