Question about Two Factor Auth

[darwin7]

Good morning
I'm planning to implement Two Factor Authentication on my server.

But I have this doubts:
- What happen and how I can login to WHM if I loose (or got stolen) my cell phone? Or if the Auth App is accidentally uninstalled?


Another question, please: how I can assign Two Factor Auth to more than 1 phone or user?

Thank you

Hi darwin,

Have you read cPanel's documentation on Two-Factor Authentication:

• Two-Factor Authentication for cPanel - Documentation - cPanel Documentation
  
• Two-Factor Authentication for WHM - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Also, you can always disable Two-Factor Authentication via commandline:

To disable it via command line, ssh to the server and run this command:

whmapi1 twofactorauth_disable_policy

I hope this helps you.

Nick.

Hi Nick!

I did not know it could be disabled via ssh command line. This is great!

Thank you
