Two-Factor Authentication configuration

[MindServer]

Hi,

You recommend me enable "Two-Factor Authentication" tool in WHM/cPanel or can generate access problems?.

If I enable him, in "Issuer" I need put a different hostname in each server or I need put the same info in all servers? (because I have various servers). I attached an image.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day!

The Issuer setting determines the name that appears in the authentication app when a user accesses the security code. If you do not enter a name for the Issuer setting, it defaults to the hostname.

-If I wirte "Issuer = My Bussiness Name" in all servers when configure "Two-Factor Authentication" will work correctly?.

-Other thing: if client enable Two-Factor Authentication in her cPanel account, the admins will can access since WHMCS buttons?.

Thank you very much.

I would write something unique in the Issuer field because you will be confused to which server the code belongs. If you enable 2FA I think yes, your clients from WHMCS can still access the accounts but I'm not 100% sure in that...maybe @cPanelLauren can confirm this?

Thank you friend. I contacted to WHMCS support and they told me need disable Two-factor for cPanel API: CPanel/WHM - WHMCS Documentation

With this should be work correctly, I will do tests.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I would agree with @andrew.n the issuer would make the most sense being your server's hostname or something that identifies your server for the authentication app.

As far as 2FA with UAPI or WHMAPI1 you can use it if the provider customized the code to be compatible or if your own code is is written to be so. Instructions on this can be found here: Guide to API Authentication - Two-Factor Authentication - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation
