Recently I generated a Recovery key on my Macbook and after a couple of days i tried to unlock my Macbook pro with it but it doesn't seem to work since Macbook is accepting only 24 digits(after automatically generating dashes) but the key I have is a 28 digit one. This key was generated to unlock the mack book and not a firevault key. It was generated by going into settings->Apple ID->Password & Security->manage(Account Recovery) Manage(Recovery key)->Turn On and Create New Key.
Please Help!

this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password
