2FA on multiple phones

[Alain Bensimon]

I've just enabled 2FA for my WHM.
Is it possible to have it on 2 different phones in case I would lose my phone?

Hey there! 2FA is configured on only one device for security reasons. If you lose the phone, you can always access SSH directly on the server (such as through your hosting provider's console tools) and disable the 2FA service.

Thank you.

I'm not sure that what @cPRex is really true. Google Authenticator (for example) let's you replicate things across multiple devices. It's intended for an export/import, but they do stay in sync (from our testing). So it really boils down to your authenticator app.

@ffeingol - I haven't tried that! If the app can somehow keep the requests in sync (as in, doesn't allow an auth on device 2 after device 1 has already denied it) then that should work well.
