Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an improved security measure that requires two forms of identification: your password and a generated security code. It provides an extra step to access your cPanel account.
For Enabling 2FA
1. Login to cPanel.
2. On the cPanel home page, under Security, locate Two-Factor Authentication.
3. Select Set Up Two-Factor Authentication on the page that appears.
4. A new page will open and either you can
- Scan the QR code that appears, using our preferred two-factor authentication device.
- If you do not have a QR code reader, you can use the option to manually configure the two-factor authentication within your app by using the blue box titled “Don’t have a QR code reader?”.
5. After scanning the QR code/ manually configuring the two-factor authentication, you will receive a security code.
6. Enter the security code received in the security code box.
7. Click Configure Two-Factor Authentication.
Two-factor authentication has now been enabled on your account.
