Adding Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to your DoHost Account helps protect your account with an extra layer of security. Follow these steps to enable 2FA.
1. Access Security Settings
- Log into your DoHost Client Area.
- In the top right corner, click on Hello, [Your Name]! and select Security Settings from the dropdown menu.
2. Enable 2FA
- Under Security Settings, click Click here to Enable to start setting up 2FA.
3. Choose Authentication Method
Select Time-Based Tokens as your authentication method and click Get Started.
4. Set Up Your Authenticator App
- Open a compatible authenticator app on your mobile device, such as Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile.
- Scan the QR code displayed on your screen with the authenticator app.
5. Enter Verification Code
- The authenticator app will generate a 6-digit code. Enter this code into the provided field in the DoHost Client Area and click Submit.
6. Save Your Backup Code
- Once verified, a Backup Code will be displayed. Record this code in a secure place—this code can be used to access your account if you lose access to your authenticator app.
7. Complete Setup
- Click Close to finalize the 2FA setup. Your account is now protected by two-factor authentication.
Note: Enabling 2FA enhances account security by requiring both your password and a time-sensitive code to log in. Be sure to keep your backup code safe!
