Highly recommended. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to signing in. Because one account runs everything, turning it on once protects all of your services.
Turn on 2FA in the Unified Panel:
- Log in to the Unified Panel
- Open your profile menu and choose Security
- Under Two-Factor Authentication, click Enable 2FA
- Enter your account password and click Continue
- Scan the QR code with an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Authy or 1Password (or type in the key shown)
- Enter the 6-digit code from the app and click Verify and Enable
- Save your recovery codes. Copy or download them, store them somewhere safe, then click I've Saved My Codes
Once it's on, you'll be asked for a 6-digit code when you sign in from a new device. If you lose your phone, use one of your recovery codes to sign in.
