Two-factor authentication (2FA) asks for a code from an app on your phone as well as your password, so nobody can log in with a stolen password alone.
You’ll need an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy.
cPanel › Security › Two-Factor Authentication
- Log in to cPanel.
- In the Security section, click Two-Factor Authentication.
- Click Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.
- Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code on the screen (or type in the code shown).
- Enter the six-digit code from the app into the Security Code box.
- Click Configure Two-Factor Authentication.
From now on, cPanel will ask for a code from your app each time you log in.
Keep your phone safe. If you lose access to your authenticator app, open a support ticket or call (800) 245-6301 and we’ll help you get back in after verifying your identity.
