Ensuring the security of your cPanel account is crucial for protecting your website and its associated data. One of the most effective ways to enhance security is by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
2FA adds a layer of protection by requiring a second verification form beyond just your password.
This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of enabling 2FA for your cPanel account, ensuring your online presence is safeguarded against unauthorized access. Follow these simple instructions to bolster your cPanel security with Two-Factor Authentication:
Step 1: Log in to cPanel
Provide your designated username and password to log in.
Step 2: Navigate to the Security Section
Once logged in, scroll down to the "Security" section and click on "Two-Factor Authentication."
Step 3: Start Two-Factor Authentication Setup
Click on "Set Up Two-Factor Authentication" to begin the configuration process.
Step 4: Scan the QR Code
Scan the displayed QR code with a two-factor authentication app on your smartphone. If you don't have a QR code reader, manually configure the app using the provided account name and key.
Step 5: Install Authenticator Extension (if needed)
If you don't have a two-factor authentication app on your phone, you can use an authenticator extension for your browser. Go to the Chrome Web Store and add the "Authenticator" extension.
Step 6: Open Authenticator Extension
Click on the "Authenticator" extension icon in your browser to open it.
Step 7: Add Account in Authenticator Extension
Click on the pencil icon to add a new account.
Step 8: Copy Security Code
After scanning the QR code or adding the account manually, the authenticator app will generate a security code.
Step 9: Enter Security Code
Enter this code in the cPanel interface and click "Configure Two-Factor Authentication."
Step 10: Success Message
You will see a success message indicating that two-factor authentication is now configured for your account.
Step 11: Verify Configuration
You can verify that two-factor authentication is configured by seeing the confirmation message. You can also reconfigure or remove two-factor authentication from this screen.
