How to enable 2FA on Bluehost

← Bluehost overview Supported

Bluehost supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Bluehost account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Bluehost and open your Bluehost account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Bluehost displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Bluehost account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Bluehost gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on Bluehost can change — the official Bluehost 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
