## Problem When users set up two-factor authentication (TOTP) in the dashboard, the enrollment modal asks them to name their authenticator app, with the placeholder suggesting `e.g.: Google Authenticator`. Many users keep or type this example name without realizing it is simply a custom nickname for the factor. On the sign-in MFA screen (`SignInMfaForm.tsx`), the code input previously rendered its label as: > `Code generated by Google Authenticator` This phrasing can lead users to believe that Supabase has locked their account specifically to Google's authenticator app—even when they actually scanned the QR code with Apple Passwords / iOS Keychain, 1Password, or Bitwarden. As reported in #51502, users who rely on their iPhone's built-in authenticator can get alarmed, thinking their authentication setup was unexpectedly swapped. Furthermore, if a user is genuinely locked out (e.g. lost device and backup codes), the "Email support" option previously only surfaced after an explicit authentication exception occurred, rather than being readily discoverable under the *"Unable to sign in?"* help section. Closes #51502 ## Solution 1. **Clear, standard form label & descriptive subtext**: - Replaced the ambiguous `Code generated by [Friendly Name]` label with a standard `Authentication code` label. - Moved the factor's friendly name into the field description: - When a name is configured: `From the authenticator app registered as [Friendly Name]` - Fallback when no name is set: `From the authenticator app registered to this account` - This makes it immediately obvious that `[Friendly Name]` is just the custom label they chose, rather than a hard vendor requirement. 2. **Direct support escape hatch**: - Added an **"Email support to regain access"** link directly into the *"Unable to sign in?"* list in both `SignInMfaForm` and `SignInRecoveryCodeForm`. - Users who are stuck now have an immediate, obvious way to reach out without needing to trigger errors or hunt down the support email. 3. **Extracted testable helper logic**: - Extracted friendly-name normalization and support mailto generation into a dedicated `SignInMfa.utils.ts` module. - Added unit test coverage in `SignInMfa.utils.test.ts` (9 tests covering trims, null/empty cases, and mailto parameters). ## Review instructions 1. Navigate to `/sign-in-mfa` (with an account that has a TOTP factor enrolled). 2. Verify that the input label reads `Authentication code`. 3. Check the subtext: verify that it clarifies `From the authenticator app registered as [Name]`. 4. Inspect the *"Unable to sign in?"* section at the bottom: - Confirm that "Email support to regain access" is visible and opens a pre-addressed email to `support@supabase.com` with subject `Unable to sign in via MFA`. 5. Check `/sign-in-recovery-code` and verify the same support link is present. ## Checklist - [x] I have read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) - [x] Unit tests added and passing (`vitest run components/interfaces/SignIn/SignInMfa.utils.test.ts`) - [x] Code passes Prettier formatting check - [x] Code passes ESLint without adding warnings

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
- postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
- Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.
Client libraries
Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
