Security is crucial for our data safety. That's why we recommend you enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your cPanel account to prevent hackers from accessing your cPanel account even if they have somehow obtained your account details.
What are the Requirements?
You 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 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 the message
Success: Two-factor authentication is now configured on your account.
