2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring two forms of identification. After entering your password, you’ll need a six-digit code from an app on your smartphone. Without this code, you can’t log in.
Note: Your hosting provider must enable 2FA in WHM for this feature to work.
- Tracks authentication across all open browser windows. Logging out in one will log you out of the others.
This can also be enabled for **Webmail**.
- A smartphone with a TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) app. Recommended apps:
Google Authenticator™
Duo Mobile
1. Click **Set Up Two-Factor Authentication** in cPanel.
2. Link your 2FA app:
- **Scan the QR code** (automatic), or
- **Enter the Account & Key manually** (manual setup).
3. Enter the six-digit code generated by your app before it expires.
4. Click **Configure Two-Factor Authentication**.
Tip: If you receive a “security code is invalid” error, your server's date/time may be off: contact your hosting provider.
Click **Remove Two-Factor Authentication**.
Click **Reconfigure** to set up 2FA again.
This will overwrite the current setup, making old codes invalid.
Contact your system administrator to disable 2FA so you can regain access and reconfigure it.
