Disable logging in using a one-time password

Attention. Before you delete your account from Yandex Key, go back to using a regular password in Yandex ID. If you delete your Yandex Key account without changing the login method, you won't be able to disable logging in with a one-time password for this account. In this case, you will have to restore access.

To go back to using a regular password:

  1. Open the Safety tab.

  2. In the Login method section, click the current login method.

  3. In the list, select Password + sms or Standard password.

  4. On the page that opens, enter a one-time password from the Yandex Key app to confirm the changes.

  5. Set a standard password for your account.

You'll need to create new app passwords for third-party apps and mail importers because your old passwords will stop working after you disable logging in with a one-time password. You can create new passwords on the app password management page.
