Security is important for our data safety. We recommend you to enable the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your cPanel account in order to prevent hackers from accessing your cPanel account even if they have somehow obtained your account details.

### What are the Requirements?

You would need a smartphone with a supported time-based one-time password app. Mobile phone OS such as Android, Windows and iOS have an app for 2FA.

### How to Enable the Two-Factor Authentication on Your cPanel Account?

**1.** Log in to your cPanel account.

**2.** In the **Security** section, click on **Two-Factor Authentication**.

**3.** Click on **Setup Two-Factor Authentication**. Under **Step 1**, scan the QR code using your Google Authenticator or 2FA Authenticator application. If your APP doesn't have a QR code reader, you can manually enter the account name and key number.

**4.** Under the **Security Code**, enter your Two-Factor Authentication code and click on **Configure Two-Factor Authentication**.

It should display a message such as **Success: Two-factor authentication is now configured on your account**.

Follow this instruction to remove two-factor authentication from your cPanel account.

**1.** Log in to your cPanel account.

**2.** In the **Security** section, click on **Two-Factor Authentication**.

**3.** Click on **Remove Two-Factor Authentication**.

**4.** For confirmation, click on **Remove**.

It should show a message such as **Success: The system removed the two-factor authentication from your account**.

You have disabled two-factor authentication on your cPanel account. Make sure to re-enable it later if you want to keep your account more secure.
