Clear your browser's cache/browsing history, or try another browser.

Hey Narciso C., can you please describe the exact steps you're following until you get to the issue?

I'm seeing the same thing as well.
When I click on Show to reveal my existing recovery codes it prompts me to enter my password. When I do, I get a message at the bottom of the screen that says "Since it's been a while, please enter your password again." If I enter my password again the issue repeats in an endless loop.
