You can use erstwhile passwords to log in to Yandex services and apps.

Note. You demand to enter the i-time password earlier information technology stops displaying on the app screen. If there isn't much fourth dimension left until the next password, simply wait for the new 1 to announced.

To get a 1-time password, launch Yandex.Central and enter the Pivot code that you created when setting up 2FA. The app will start generating passwords every 30 seconds.

Remember:

  • You can copy your current countersign from Yandex.Primal into another app. To do this, click side by side to your password.

  • It makes no sense to save one-time passwords in your browser or anywhere else. Even if you lot don't use a password immediately, information technology'll stop working very before long.

Yandex.Key volition not verify that the Pin code you lot enter is correct: information technology will generate one-time passwords even if yous've entered your PIN code incorrectly. In this instance, the generated passwords will too be invalid, and you won't be able to log in with them. To enter the correct PIN code, y'all just have to exit the app and launch it again.

Some services (such as the Yandex homepage, Yandex.Deejay, and Yandex.Mail) permit you to sign in to Yandex by only pointing your camera at a QR lawmaking. Your mobile device must be connected to the net so that Yandex.Fundamental tin communicate with the authentication server.

  2. Enter your PIN code in Yandex.Central and click Log in with QR code.

  3. Indicate your device's camera at the QR code displayed in your browser.

Yandex.Key detects the QR lawmaking and sends your username and 1-time password to Yandex ID. If they pass verification, you will log in automatically in your browser. If the countersign sent turns out to be incorrect (for example, as a result of entering the incorrect Pivot code in Yandex.Key), then the browser will display the standard error message that yous entered an incorrect password.

Apps or sites that need to admission your Yandex data sometimes ask you to enter your password to log in to your business relationship. In these situations former passwords will not work; you will need to create a separate app password for each app of this blazon.

Attention. Yandex apps and services only work using ane-time passwords. Even if y'all create an app password for a service similar Yandex.Deejay, you won't be able to log in with it.
