Hexonet 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Hexonet lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Hexonet account safe even if your password leaks.
Whoever controls your Hexonet account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. Hexonet secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

Save a way to recover your account.

Menu names on Hexonet can change — the official Hexonet 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Hexonet account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Hexonet gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Hexonet doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Hexonet's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
