justhost 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
justhost lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your justhost account safe even if your password leaks.
Losing a justhost account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, justhost also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

Menu names on justhost can change — the official justhost 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your justhost account
If you lose access to your authenticator and justhost 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 justhost doesn't, or you didn't save them, use justhost's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
