This article explains how to set up two-factor authentication for your cPanel account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If enabled on your server, you have the ability to add an additional layer of protection to your cPanel account. Normally, your cPanel account is protected by a username and a password, but it is possible to enable another layer of authentication on top of that. This is known as two-factor authentication as there are two different types of authentication required in order to access your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This additional protection will require you to enter a constantly changing 6-digit security code in addition to your username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an improved security measure that requires two forms of identification: your password and a generated security code. With 2FA enabled, an application on your smartphone will provide you with a code that you must enter with your password to log in. Without your smartphone, you cannot log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
