# Remove Authentication

## **Disable Authentication Temporary**

Disabling authentication temporarily is generally not recommended due to security risks. However, if you have a specific scenario where you need to disable authentication for a short period, here are some steps you can follow:

1. Comment out the `AuthGuard` wrapper for the routes within the `MainLayout` element:

{% code title="MainRoutes.tsx" %}

```typescript
// import AuthGuard from 'utils/route-guard/AuthGuard';

...
...
element: (
  // <AuthGuard>
  <MainLayout />
  // </AuthGuard>
),
...
...
```

{% endcode %}

In the code snippet above, the `<AuthGuard>` component is commented out, allowing the routes within the `MainLayout` component to be rendered without authentication protection. To enable the AuthGuard wrapper again, remove the comment markers (`//`) surrounding the `<AuthGuard>` component.

## Remove Authentication Permanent

If you want to permanently remove authentication from a system or application, here are the steps to follow:

1. **Remove below authentication keys from `.env` file.**

{% code title=".env" %}

```javascript
...
...
## Firebase - Google Auth 

REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_APP_ID=
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID=

## AWS

REACT_APP_AWS_POOL_ID=
REACT_APP_AWS_APP_CLIENT_ID=

## Auth0

REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=
REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=
...
...
```

{% endcode %}

2. **Removed below list of files and directory.**

```markdown
mantis-material-react
..
├── src
│   ├── components\cards               
│   │   ├── AuthFooter.tsx
│   ├── context
│   │   ├── Auth0Context.tsx
│   │   ├── AWSCognitoContext.tsx
│   │   ├── FirebaseContext.tsx
│   │   ├── JWTContext.tsx
│   ├── hooks
│   │   ├── useAuth.ts
│   ├── pages
│   │   ├── auth (remove directory with all sub files)
│   ├── routes
│   │   ├── LoginRoutes.tsx
│   ├── sections
│   │   ├── auth (remove directory with all sub files)
│   ├── utils
│   │   ├── route-guard (remove directory with all sub files)
```

3. **Remove `LoginRoutes`** - Open file ./src/routes/index.tsx, and remove `LoginRoutes` import.

{% code title="routes/index.tsx" %}

```typescript
import { lazy } from 'react';
import { createBrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

// project import
import MainRoutes from './MainRoutes';
import ComponentsRoutes from './ComponentsRoutes';

import CommonLayout from 'layout/CommonLayout';
import Loadable from 'components/Loadable';

import { APP_BASENAME } from 'config';

// render - landing page
const PagesLanding = Loadable(lazy(() => import('pages/landing')));

// ==============================|| ROUTING RENDER ||============================== //

const router = createBrowserRouter(
  [
    {
      path: '/',
      element: <CommonLayout layout="landing" />,
      children: [
        {
          path: '/',
          element: <PagesLanding />
        }
      ]
    },
    ComponentsRoutes,
    MainRoutes
  ],
  { basename: APP_BASENAME }
);

export default router;
```

{% endcode %}

4. **Remove or change `/login` routes.**&#x20;
   * **If you want to remove routes** - remove router component `RouterLink` or `Link` with `to=''` props.
   * **If you want to change url** - set the home page URL like, `to={APP_DEFAULT_PATH}` , And import `APP_DEFAULT_PATH` from `config` file.
5. **Remove `useAuth` hook** - Remove the below imports from throughout the project and set static values for user profile props.

```
import useAuth from 'hooks/useAuth';
```

6. **Remove axios interceptors response from ./src/utils/axios.ts file**

{% code title="utils/axios.ts" %}

```
import axios from 'axios';

// ==============================|| AXIOS - FOR MOCK SERVICES ||============================== //

const axiosServices = axios.create({ baseURL: process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL || 'http://localhost:3010/' });

export default axiosServices;
```

{% endcode %}
