Security is important for our data safety. We recommend you to enable the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your cPanel account in order to prevent hackers from accessing your cPanel account even if they have somehow obtained your account details.
What are the Requirements? #
You would need a smartphone with a supported time-based one-time password app. Mobile phone OS such as Android, Windows and iOS have an app for 2FA.
How to Enable the Two-Factor Authentication on Your cPanel Account? #
1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. In the Security section, click on Two-Factor Authentication.
3. Click on Setup Two-Factor Authentication. Under Step 1, scan the QR code using your Google Authenticator or 2FA Authenticator application. If your APP doesn’t have a QR code reader, you can manually enter the account name and key number.
4. Under the Security Code, enter your Two-Factor Authentication code and click on Configure Two-Factor Authentication.
It should display a message such as Success: Two-factor authentication is now configured on your account.
