# Get Recovery Codes

> Get Recovery Codes using the Stytch React Native SDK

Wraps the [Get TOTP Recovery Codes](/docs/api-reference/consumer/api/totp/get-recovery-codes) endpoint. Call this method to retrieve the recovery codes for a TOTP instance tied to a user.

<Note>
  If a user has enrolled another MFA method, this method will require MFA. See the [Multi-factor authentication](../../resources/multi-factor-authentication) section for more details.
</Note>
