- Two Factor Authentication
This function allows you to configure two-factor authentication (2FA), an improved security measure for the login interface of cPanel & WHM. Two-factor authentication requires two forms of identification:
- Your password
- A generated security code
When you enable 2FA, an application on your smartphone supplies a code that you must enter with your password to log in. Without your smartphone, you cannot log in. For more information about 2FA, read Wikipedia's Two-Factor Authentication article.
Note:
2FA requires a smartphone with a supported time-based one-time password (TOTP) app. We suggest the following apps:
- For Android, iOS, and Blackberry — Google Authenticator
- For Android and iOS — Duo Mobile
- For Windows Phone and iOS — Microsoft Authenticator or Authenticator
