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.

I'm having this exact same issue- I can't get the backup codes on any browser, using any computer, any operating system. I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on both Mac and PC and nothing works.
