hey what does this part mean? how do i get a "backup of secret keys"?

thanks!

It is a code(secret key) generated from Coinbase that you can get when enabling the 2FA/TOTP from your account. So you will need a Google authenticator installed on PC or on your phone and add the secret key to your Google authenticator. Make sure you have a backup copy of that.

It would be better to read the guide from the Coinbase pro help page below to know how to set up 2FA.

Read under TOTP

For SMS, you will only receive a text with a code for verification that you will need when adding SMS verification from your account.
