Go / no-go 2026-09-15
Annual only if backup codes open productivity SaaS without the old phone for “productivity SaaS”. Otherwise saas-tools-pick stays monthly until productivity SaaS works on a new device.
Download backup codes before you trust the app
On Notion, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named saas-tools-pick-recovery-2026-09-15-s28, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.
On Trello, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named saas-tools-pick-recovery-2026-09-15-s28, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.
On Asana, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named saas-tools-pick-recovery-2026-09-15-s28, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.
Recover after the finance ops loses the handset
Run idle seats on Notion: count seats with no login in 30 days. If recovery needs a 48h ticket, freeze annual. productivity SaaS must survive a new device in Fort Wayne.
Run board export on Trello: open the file offline. If recovery needs a 48h ticket, freeze annual. productivity SaaS must survive a new device in Fort Wayne.
Run integrations on Asana: list 3 critical apps and connector cost. If recovery needs a 48h ticket, freeze annual. productivity SaaS must survive a new device in Fort Wayne.
