How do I Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA or two-factor authentication is a two-step verification process which offers an extra layer of security when accessing your account. Once enabled, your logins to Hyperhost can only be completed if both your password and an authenticator code is provided. We support TOTP authenticator apps, such as those from Google and Microsoft.

Add a New Authenticator

From the Security Details menu (top-left).

Towards the bottom of this page, you'll see a section titled Two-Factor Authentication. To add your first device, enter your current login password and name the device you wish to add. The Device Name is purely for your own reference.

Adding a Second Authenticator

There's no limit on the number of devices you can add, and we recommend having at least two devices on your account. This is in case one of your authenticators is lost or unavailable. Once a device has been added to your account, future devices can be added by entering a code from an existing authenticator device.

Removing an Authenticator

To remove a device, select delete from the list of your authenticator devices, on the same page.
