Login sessions and two-factor authentication (2FA)

Sessions last 24 hours, 2FA re-checks every 60 days, and everything is managed in Settings → Security.

beginner· 2 views· Updated 7/18/2026

AkountFly protects your books with short-lived sessions and optional two-factor authentication.

  • Sessions last 24 hours from login, maximum. After that you're signed out and asked to log in again — even if you were active. Logging out always returns you to the sign-in page.
  • 2FA can be enabled in Settings → Security using an authenticator app (TOTP), email codes, or SMS. Once enabled, AkountFly asks for a code at login every 60 days per account — not every single login — balancing safety and convenience.

We recommend an authenticator app as the strongest option.
