Feature Description Add Two-Factor Authentication (2FA / MFA) support for local/password-based user logins in the open-source version of AnythingLLM to improve instance security.

Preferred Provider / Implementation

  • Provider: Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) / Standard Authenticator Apps (e.g., Google Authenticator, 1Password, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy).
  • Alternative (optional): Email OTP / Passkeys (WebAuthn).

Use Case When hosting AnythingLLM on a public-facing server or custom domain, basic password protection leaves the application vulnerable to brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks. Adding standard TOTP 2FA during login ensures only authorized users can access the workspace.
