Did you know that activating two-factor authentication (2FA) in CPanel can help protect your account from unauthorized access? With this extra layer of security, you not only need your regular password, but also an additional temporary code. This way, your data will be safer! Below, I guide you step by step to activate this function:

Step 1: Log in to CPanel

Open your browser and go to the CPanel control panel by entering the address: http://yourdomain.com/cpanel

Step 2: Find the 2FA security option

Within CPanel, go to the section Security and select Two-factor authentication. You're just one click away from adding an extra layer of protection to your account!

Step 3: Start two-factor authentication (2FA) setup

Within the two-factor authentication option in CPanel, select Set up two-factor authentication to start the process.

Step 4: Scan the QR code

Next, CPanel will generate a QR code that you must scan with your mobile phone. For this, you need an authenticator app like Google Authenticator the Authy. In this guide, we will use Google Authenticator:

1. Open the authenticator app on your phone.
2. Tap the button to add a new account the scan a QR code (depending on the application you use).
3. Scan the QR code that appears on the CPanel screen.

Step 5: Enter the verification code

Once the QR code is scanned, the authentication application will generate a 6-digit code that changes from time to time.

1. Enter this code in the field Security code a CPanel.
2. Click Set up two-factor authentication to finish.

Ready! You have now activated two-factor authentication and your CPanel account has an additional layer of security. From now on, every time you log in, you will need to enter the verification code generated on your mobile device to complete access.
