I just wiped my Windows 10 laptop and reinstalled Mozilla Firefox. I forgot the password. A month ago, I saved my recovery keys for my account. When I attempted to reset my password, it requests a recovery key or if I don't, will delete my history, bookmarks, and passwords. When I input the recovery key, it tells me incorrect. I have ~6 recovery keys and none of them work.

I need my bookmarks and passwords.

There is only one 32-digit recovery key, so you need to enter the full 32-digit key.

The recovery key is derived from the password of the Firefox account and thus will only work for the account where you generated this specific recovery key.
