Anchor supports one-time password (OTP) as its email MFA method. Each identity is assigned a dedicated mailbox — simply configure a forwarding rule with your email provider to route OTP codes to Anchor during identity creation, reauthentication, and agent sessions.

​
Step 1: Add Email MFA as an authentication method

  1. Go to the Identities page and select your identity.
  2. Open the Authentication Flow editor by clicking the pencil icon in the Authentication Flows section.
  3. Choose the authentication flow you want to use.
  4. Select the Email MFA checkbox under Authentication Methods.

​
Step 2: Create an identity that uses the Email MFA authentication method

After creating the Email MFA authentication method:
  1. Create a new identity.
  2. In the credentials window, choose the Email MFA authentication method.
  3. You will receive a dedicated mailbox (for example, zesty-vale7820@mfa.anchorbrowser.io).
  4. Set up a forwarding rule from your mailbox to your dedicated mailbox.
  5. Optionally, test the forwarding flow using the detailed instructions.
