Enabling two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to your login: after your password, you'll be asked for a code from your phone. Even if someone gets your password, they can't log in without the code.

Enabling 2FA on your client portal

1. Log in at dynhost.co.uk/client.
2. Click your name in the top right → Security Settings.
3. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
4. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (we recommend 1Password, Bitwarden, or Google Authenticator).
5. Enter the 6-digit code from your app to confirm.
6. Save the backup codes somewhere safe. If you lose your phone, these are the only way to get back in.

Enabling 2FA in cPanel

You can also enable 2FA on your cPanel login separately:

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Find Two-Factor Authentication in the Security section.
3. Click Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.
4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
5. Save the backup codes.

Lost your device?

If you lose your phone and your backup codes, contact support at support@dynhost.co.uk. We'll verify your identity and reset 2FA for you.

Tips for staying secure

• Use a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden) to generate and store strong, unique passwords.
• Don't reuse passwords across sites.
• Use 2FA everywhere it's available, especially on your email — that's the master key to every other account.
