On this page you can change your name, your email address and enable two-factor authentication.

If the wallabag instance has more than one enabled user, you can delete your account here. Take care, we delete all your data.

Two factor authentication (2FA)

⚠️
For administrators: enabling 2FA from the configuration interface is only possible if it has been authorized before in app/config/parameters.yml by setting the twofactor_auth parameter to true (do not forget to run php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod after modification).

Two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA, MFA or multi-factor authentication) is a security measure that strengthens identification of users by a combination of different components.

On wallabag you can either use one-time code sent by email or one-time codes generated by an OTP app (e.g. Google Authenticator, Aegie, FreeOTP).

ℹ️
We strongly recommend to prefer the use of an OTP app than the one-time code sent by email.

Once 2FA is enabled on your account, each time you want to login to wallabag, you’ll be required to enter a one-time code after submitting your password. You have to put this code on the following form.

Two factor authentication

If you don’t want to receive a code each time you want to login, you can check the I'm on a trusted computer checkbox: wallabag will remember you for 15 days.

Enable 2FA using OTP app

Once you click on Use OTP wallabag will show the configuration page for OTP app.

2FA configuration

Then you should scan the image using your OTP app. If the image is not shown or if you can’t scan it, you can enter the secret printed below the image.

wallabag will also give you a list of backup codes, you must save them in case you lose access to your OTP app.

You will be prompted to enter a one-time code to validate the activation of 2FA.
