Two-Factor Authentication for cPanel
Two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA or two-step verification, is an optional feature designed to prevent anyone but you from accessing your hosting account by requiring two identity verification forms: your password and an authentication code. 2FA is ideal for anyone looking to increase their account security because stealing your password isn’t enough for hackers to access your account. They would also need access to your mobile device or email account, depending on how you set it up.
