Enable 2FA Globally

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enhances security by adding a second step to the login process. It combines something that you know (for example, your password) with a second factor, typically from something that you have (for example, your phone). Requiring both to log in decreases the threat of a leaked password.

For more information, see Two-Factor Authentication.

Enable 2FA Globally

To enable Two-Factor Authentication globally for your WHMCS installation:

  1. Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Two Factor Authentication.
  2. Click Activate under the service that you would like to enable.
    Enabling 2FA in the Client Area

    • Enable for use by Clients (for users)
    • Enable for use by Administrative Users (for admins)
  4. Configure any additional configuration settings for your chosen method.
    Duo® Security and YubiKey require additional configuration.

You can repeat these steps for each service that you want to enable.
