The key

Six ordinary words beat eight scrambled characters, and you will still know it in a year. Whatever you choose, write it down somewhere real before you leave this page — nobody here can read it back to you.

Your six digits

From the app that holds your second factor. It changes every thirty seconds.

Your email and password are kept the ordinary careful way: the password is stretched with scrypt and never stored as written, a forgotten one is replaced by a link that works for an hour, and nobody here can read it back to you.

A key, if you hold one, never leaves this page. It is turned into a proof here, in your own browser, and only the proof is sent. The house cannot read your key, cannot email it to you, and cannot hand it to anyone who asks — including anyone who compels us. That is the whole arrangement, and it is why writing it down matters.
