Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in cPanel for Enhanced Security
In today’s digital age, security is paramount, especially when managing your online assets. One effective way to boost your online security is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in your cPanel. Cpluz, a leading design and printing company established in 1993, is here to guide you through the process.
What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication, often abbreviated as 2FA, is a security system that requires two different authentication factors to verify the user’s identity. Typically, these factors include something the user knows (a password) and something the user has (a physical token or a smartphone).
Why Enable 2FA in cPanel?
- Enhanced Security: 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your cPanel account, making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access.
- Protection Against Phishing: With 2FA, even if a hacker manages to obtain your password, they will still need your second authentication factor to access your account.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your cPanel account is protected by 2FA can give you the peace of mind you need to focus on your business.
How to Enable 2FA in cPanel
Step 1: Log into cPanel
Navigate to your Cpluz-provided hosting account and log in to your cPanel.
Step 2: Find the Two-Factor Authentication Icon
Once you’re in your cPanel, look for the Two-Factor Authentication icon. It’s usually located in the Security section.
Step 3: Set Up Two-Factor Authentication
Click on the Two-Factor Authentication icon. You’ll be asked to scan a QR code using an authentication app on your smartphone. After scanning the code, you’ll receive a six-digit verification code.
Step 4: Enter the Verification Code
Enter the six-digit verification code you’ve received into the designated field and click ‘Verify.’
Step 5: Confirm Your Phone Number
You’ll be asked to confirm your phone number. This is to ensure that you’re the one making the changes.
Step 6: Enable Temporary Codes
For added security, you can opt to receive temporary codes via text message or email. These codes will be required whenever you log into your cPanel.
