# Use Recovery Code

These endpoints power passwordless sign-in (passkeys / WebAuthn) and account recovery (magic links, recovery codes, email verification) for your app's end users. Uses the recovery code.

This method is on the runtime **API** surface (`norbix.api.membership`) — call it from your app.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/sdks-and-cli/install.md).
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript / TypeScript" %}

```ts
import { Norbix } from '@norbix.ai/ts';
const norbix = new Norbix();

const result = await norbix.api.membership.useRecoveryCode({
  email: 'alice@example.com',
  recoveryCode: 'ABCD-EFGH-IJKL',
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title=".NET" %}

```csharp
using Norbix.Sdk;
using Norbix.Sdk.Types.Api;

using var client = new NorbixClient();

var result = await client.Membership.UseRecoveryCodeAsync(new UseRecoveryCodeRequest
{
    Email = "alice@example.com",
    RecoveryCode = "ABCD-EFGH-IJKL",
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
from norbix_python import NorbixApi

norbix = NorbixApi()

    email="alice@example.com",
    recoveryCode="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL",
