cPanel enables you to configure two-factor authentication (2FA), an improved security measure for the login interface. Two-factor authentication requires two forms of identification:
Your password.
A security code. An application on your smartphone generates a code that you must enter to log in. Without this security code, you cannot log in.
To enable 2FA, follow these steps:
1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Open the Two-Factor Authentication tool:
In the Security section, click Two-Factor Authentication:
3. Click Set Up Two-Factor Authentication:
4. Under Step 1, use your preferred two-factor authentication application to scan the QR code. If you do not have a QR code reader, you can manually configure two-factor authentication within your app by entering the information provided under Don’t have a QR code reader?.
5. Under Step 2, in the Security Code text box, type the security code you see in the 2FA app.
6. Click Configure Two-Factor Authentication. cPanel enables 2FA for your account.
