Is this the key for the gauth recovery?

Yesterday I enabled my Gauth on HF.
I have seen a "secret key" next to the QR code and I asking here if its the right key that I saved.

The key is 16Char long.

Thanks.
If you're using authy so i guess it is , i switched from google auth to authy for more security .
Just save that key .

You can test the secret key with Google Authenticator. Install it. Manually insert the key. Then test in on the Gauth page. It should work. That key is really all your should need for a backup. Unsure why so many don't understand that concept.
