Enable 2FA on Your Billing Account

Secure your DazcoHost Client Account with two-factor authentication.

We highly recommend using 2-factor authentication to secure your account.

Steps to Enable 2FA

1. Log into the Client Area.
2. Select "Profile" from the "Account & Panels" dropdown.
3. Open the "Security Settings".
4. Click the green "Click here to Enable" button.
5. Select "Time Based Tokens" and click "Get Started".
6. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app or enter the code directly.
7. Make sure to save the alphanumeric code or QR code somewhere in a secure format. Good ways are in a private password manager or encrypted flash drive!

What Is 2FA?

2-Factor Authentication is an extra step added to logging into an account that helps prevent unauthorized access. If you've enabled 2-Factor Authentication, or 2FA, then you'll be required to provide a token provided by an Authenticator application when you log into your account. The token is cryptographically generated from a private code only shared between DazcoHost and the Authenticator application.

The goal of this is to provide a second authentication requirement for accessing your account, in particular one that is tied to a physical device like your cell phone. As long as you don't share the 2FA tokens and a third party doesn't have physical access to the authenticator device/app, this is a nearly foolproof method of authenticating.

For redundancy's sake, you can even save the original code, often shown in tandem with a 2D QR code, in a password manager or other safe location, in case you lose your device or have multiple devices set up with an Authenticator application ready to go.
