How to enable 2FA on VPS Server
VPS Server 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 VPS Server account.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to VPS Server and open your VPS Server 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 VPS Server 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 VPS Server account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes VPS Server gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on VPS Server can change — the official VPS Server 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
