Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Add an extra layer of security to your SillyHost account with two-factor authentication.

What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication requires both your password and a code from your phone to log in. Even if someone gets your password, they can't access your account without your phone.

How to Enable 2FA

  1. Go to your Profile page in the dashboard
  2. Scroll to Security Settings
  3. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
  4. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
  5. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm
  6. Save your backup codes somewhere safe!

Backup Codes

We'll give you 10 backup codes when you set up 2FA. Store these securely — you'll need them if you lose access to your authenticator app.
