I store software activation codes and account backup codes in the secure notes.

Just the fact I would have to manually copy all of my notes if I changed managers make me stay with Sticky... Even when its browser extensions drive me crazy sometimes.

Btw SP allows you to export your password to a very tidy html file. This is very handy if you want to migrate to another password manager.

Yes. Passwords are not a problem, but I never found one that could import the notes. I would have to copy each one of them.

My answer was no but I never think to save these codes
Now I will do it and change my vote to yes.

I didn't think about it until my phone got wiped and I couldn't find one of my sets of recovery codes. It was a painful process.My answer was no but I never think to save these codes
Now I will do it and change my vote to yes.
I always kept the recovery codes in a local file. Encrypted that file, archived it (.zip) and encrypted that archive too, due to the nature of the content within it. Afterwards I would keep it on a USB, external HDD (i rarely use, just update important files as a backup) and upload a copy to a vault in the cloud. Seems to work for me, so far. I never kept them in my PW manager, the same goes for me 2FA/TOTP codes.
Not sure if that is best practice, but that's how i always did it.

Nope, only passwords, any codes I need to save are pen and paper.

Yes, some things that are not passwords but are important, for example passwords from internal application or programs from my work, pin from a telephone or tablet, etc. It's better to be in a secure memo, protected with a password, then in plain text in a TXT call ; pin from iphone, or pin from internal application xpto, number of plate of my old car.

What happened was my phone deactivated as an Authenticator for 2fa and I couldn’t find the codes for one of my accounts. I hadn’t thought to save them in secure notes.

Microsoft if I remember correctly. Though I don’t remember which account. It wasn’t a crucial one.

for Authenticator recovery codes you can put it in the note or the cloud or something like this

Yes, my original comment was meant to reflect that I wish I had thought of that before that happened. It wasn’t clear enough. I felt very silly.
