Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of protection to your Anara account. Even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can't sign in without your second factor. For researchers whose libraries contain unpublished work or sensitive data, it's worth enabling.
Enabling 2FA
Go to Settings > Account.
Scroll to the Security section.
Find 2-step Verification and toggle it on.
Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup.
Once enabled, you'll be prompted for your second factor whenever you sign in on a new device or session.
Tip: Recommended: Enable 2FA if your Anara library contains unpublished research, confidential documents, or sensitive data.
Disabling 2FA
Go to Settings > Account.
Scroll to the Security section.
Toggle 2-step Verification off.
Confirm if prompted.
After disabling, your account will only require your password to sign in.
Troubleshooting
Lost access to your 2FA method? Contact support via the Support menu in the bottom left sidebar. The team can help you recover access.
Don't see the 2FA option? Make sure you're in Settings > Account > Security. If you signed up with Google or Apple, your 2FA is managed by that provider, not Anara.
