Username and password are no longer enough to keep you safe.
With all the data breaches, malware, and phishing scams making rounds across the Internet you just have to assume someone is going to get your password (if they don't already have it).
Because of this, we would highly recommend enabling two-factor authentication for your WebsiteMKR Client portal and cPanel Account
In this section we will show you how to enable Two-Factor authentication for your WebsiteMKR Portal and for your cPanel.
What Is Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security across your accounts requiring a unique pin code from your smartphone device after you successfully enter your username and password.
You will see this screen after you enter your username and password:
You would then open up the Google Authenticator app on your phone and enter the unique six-digit code that is shown.
This code expires every 30 seconds and re-generates.
You'll notice above, you're given a back-up code when you set it up that you can use incase your device is lost or stolen.
You'll want to write this code down and store it somewhere safe (don't store it on your computer).
