API Reference docs are now more easily discoverable

We are updating our docs site to make you more successful with Ably.

As a first step, we have made it easier for you to find and use our API Reference docs by listing them as a separate section in the table of contents.

We’ve also made some other minor changes as part of this work:

The pages previously listed under “Core features” (including the Auth & Security page) can now be found in the “Getting Started” section under “Key concepts”.
Some pages that link to additional resources can be found under “Useful Resources”.
Finally, the Server-Sent Events (SSE) and MQTT pages can be found under “Products > Protocol Adapters”.

How do I give feedback?

This docs update and further planned changes are based on feedback from customers like you. So if you’d like to share any other requests or feedback, please contact us and help us make Ably better for everyone.

Two-Factor Authentication for your Ably Account

New feature

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a layer of security to your Ably account by requiring more than just a password to log into the Ably dashboard.

Great news: it's now available for general availability with support for Time-based one-time password (TOTP).

How does it work?

Once a user has enabled 2FA, when they log into your Ably account with a password, they can choose an additional verification step.

Please note: 2FA is only relevant for those using passwords to log in, so excludes Google, Twitter, GitHub and SAML-based authentication.

How do I try it?

Navigate to My Settings in your Ably dashboard, click on the Enable two-factor authentication button, and follow the instructions.
