Thanks for the awesome work on this! I've implemented this package into Laravel and it works great!

I'm now trying to generate recover codes or back up codes. Like this page: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1187538?hl=en
How are you generating recovery codes (backup codes) incase a user doesn't have their phone?

I've looked through the code and have been thinking of different ways I can implement a recovery code list, but coming up empty handed.

Can the one time password method oathHotp be used in a loop to generate those codes?
