Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 One of the difficulties of using the variable option name we discussed, is
 it makes cleanup hard. It'd be easy for the database to be filled with
 loads of these options as new recovery links come in. Right now, we don't
 invalidate when processing a recovery key. We could add that, and it'd
 help somewhat, but not enough IMO.

 An alternative would be to make `recovery_keys` an associative array with
 the random chars as the keys. Then, whenever a new recovery key is
 generated, we could loop through all existing recovery keys and remove
 them if they expired.
