Passkeys, authenticator and devices
Add, rename and remove passkeys, make new recovery codes or reset your authenticator app, and sign out devices you don't use.
The Security page keeps your account safe: the passkeys you sign in with, the authenticator app that confirms sign-ins and destructive actions, and the list of devices signed in to your account. Mokanata has no passwords, so there's nothing to change or reset here. The Danger zone at the bottom holds the actions that can't be undone.
- Who can use it: Everyone, for their own account.
- Before you start: Your authenticator app, for the changes that ask for a code (see Confirm destructive actions).
Every account has an authenticator app and at least one passkey: you set both up when you created your account (see Create your account), and Mokanata won't let you go below that.
Passkeys
Passkeys lists every passkey on your account, with its name, when you added it, and whether it syncs between devices (for example through iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager) or stays on one device or security key.
Add a passkey
Start
Open Settings → Security (click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Settings, then Security), and click Add a passkey in Passkeys.
Confirm with a code
Type the current code from your authenticator app. Adding a passkey lets someone sign in as you, so it asks for a code like a destructive action does.
Save it on your device
Your device asks for your fingerprint, face, screen lock or security key and saves the passkey. Give it a name you'll recognise, such as "Work laptop".
Add a passkey on each device you use, or keep them in a password manager that syncs, so losing one device doesn't lock you out of the quick sign-in.
Rename a passkey
In the passkey's ⋯ menu, choose Rename, type the new name and save.
Remove a passkey
In the passkey's ⋯ menu, choose Remove, then confirm with a code from your authenticator app. The passkey stops working for Mokanata at once; you can also delete it from your device or password manager.
You can't remove your last passkey: add another one first.
Authenticator app
Authenticator app shows that your app is set up. It confirms sign-ins with Google or an email link, and every destructive action. It can't be turned off.
Get new recovery codes
Recovery codes let you sign in once each when you don't have your phone. If you've used some, or think someone else saw them, make a new set:
Ask for new codes
Choose New recovery codes and confirm with a current code from your authenticator app.
Save them
Mokanata shows the new codes once. Copy them into your password manager or download them, then confirm you've saved them. Your old recovery codes stop working.
Reset your authenticator
Use this when you move to a new phone or a different authenticator app.
Reset
Choose Reset authenticator and confirm with a current code from your authenticator app.
Set up the new app
Mokanata asks you to set up an authenticator again before you can use anything else: scan the new QR code or copy the setup key into your app, type the code it shows, and save the new recovery codes. Until you finish, the rest of Mokanata stays locked.
If you've already lost the old app, sign in with an email code or a recovery code (see Lost your authenticator app); resetting still needs a code from the old app, so contact Mokanata support if you have none.
See where you're signed in
Where you're signed in lists every device signed in to your account, with the number of devices next to the title. Each row shows the browser and system (for example "Safari on iPhone"), where it was, when it was last active and when it signed in. The device you're using now is marked This device.
Don't recognise a device? Sign it out, then check your passkeys and make new recovery codes.
Sign out a device
Choose the device
Click the ⋯ menu at the end of the device's row and choose Sign out. On your own row the item reads Sign out of this device.
Confirm
If Mokanata asks, type the current code from your authenticator app. Click Sign out. The device goes back to the login page the next time it opens Mokanata.
If you signed out This device, you go to the login page now, which says You've logged out. Your other devices stay signed in.
Sign out other devices
Use this if you lost a device.
Open the panel menu
Click the ⋯ menu at the top right of Where you're signed in and choose Sign out all other devices. The menu only appears when another device is signed in.
Confirm
If Mokanata asks, type the current code from your authenticator app. Click Sign out others. Every device except this one goes back to the login page, and you see Only this device is signed in now.
Troubleshooting
Codes change every 30 seconds. Type the newest code your app shows for Mokanata, and check the time on your phone is set automatically. Only authenticator codes confirm changes here; recovery codes and email codes are for signing in.
It's your last one. Add another passkey first, then remove the old one.
Check that the device has a screen lock set up, or use a password manager that stores passkeys, or a security key.
Mokanata couldn't finish the change, for example because the connection dropped. Click Retry in the message, or try again.
