Signing In & Two-Factor Authentication

Ways to Sign In

You can access Runa Labs two ways, and both reach the same account if they share an email address:

• Sign in with Google: one-click OAuth — the fastest option.
• Email + password: register with any email (including a Proton Mail address), verify it via the link we send, then sign in with your password. Use 'Forgot password?' on the gateway to reset it by email.

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is optional but strongly recommended, especially since your account can hold encrypted exchange API keys. It works on top of either sign-in method above. Runa Labs uses standard time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), so it works with any authenticator app — including Proton Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy, and 1Password. You are not locked to any single vendor.

Enabling 2FA

1. Go to the Accounts tab and find the Two-Factor Authentication panel.
2. Click 'Enable 2FA'. A QR code and a manual setup key appear.
3. In your authenticator app, add a new account and scan the QR code (or type the key by hand).
4. Enter the 6-digit code your app shows and click 'Confirm & Enable'. 2FA is now active.

Signing In With 2FA

Once enabled, after you sign in with Google you'll be asked for a 6-digit code once per browser session. Enter the current code from your authenticator app to unlock the terminal. Codes rotate every 30 seconds — if one is rejected, wait for the next and use the newest.

Disabling 2FA

In the same Accounts panel, enter a current code and click 'Disable 2FA'. Requiring a valid code to turn it off prevents anyone with a hijacked session from silently removing your protection.
