2FA

To help protect your cPanel from unauthorized access, Citruscloud has implemented Time-Based 2 Factor Authentication on our web servers. We strongly recommend you take a moment to configure 2FA on your account after purchasing a hosting plan.

Setting up 2FA

2FA is a security measure that requires two forms of identification. After you enter your password, you must enter a security code. An application on your smartphone supplies this code. Without your smartphone, you cannot log in.
