Two Factor Authentication is a great way to add an additional layer of security to your account. This article will walk you through how to set up two-factor authentication on your Reclaim Hosting account.
First, log in to your Client Area. Then click "Hello, [Your Name]" in the top right-hand corner. You can then select 'Security Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
This will bring you to the Two-Factor Authentication section. To turn on Two-Factor Authentication, you can then click the on the ‘Click here to Enable’ button.
This will open a popup window to enable Two-Factor Authentication. Click ‘Get Started' to proceed.
A QR code will appear and you’ll have the option to set up an authenticator. We recommend an application like Google Authenticator. You can download this for iPhone and Android.
When you sign up for your authentication app and scan the QR code, you’ll get a 6 digit code on your phone to enter to confirm your account. Use this code to verify your account.
Once you confirm the account, be sure to write down the backup code. This is an additional way to access your account if you cannot access the authenticator.
Logging in After Set Up
Once you have two factor authentication set up, log in to the Client Area using the username and password designated at signup.
Then using the authenticator app of choice, enter the 6 digit code from your phone.
And that’s it! You just added an extra level of security to your account.
