Changing the password

  • From the client area: open the service and choose Change password.
  • Or in cPanel: open Password & Security.

Two-factor authentication

  1. In cPanel, open Two-Factor Authentication.
  2. Click Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.
  3. Scan the code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator…), enter the code it shows and save.

One-click login from the client area keeps working with 2FA on, so protect your client-area account well too. See Keeping your account secure.
