Using two-factor authentication is a great way to add one more layer of security to your AwardSpace hosting account. Here’s how to enable the feature.

First, log in to the hosting control panel.

Then, head to Two-Factor Authenticator within the Account Manager box:

Enable two-factor authentication via the AwardSpace hosting panel

 

After that, click the Enable button within the Two-Factor Authentication tab:

Enable the two factor authentication by clicking the button

 

Then, choose a name for the device you will be using for the authentication process. You can use labels such as “my smartphone“, or anything else:

Choose a name for the device you are going to use for the two-factor authentication

 

Then, download an authentication application on your smartphone that you will be using for the process. Some handy authentication apps you can use are:

  • KeePassXC
  • Google Authentication
  • Authy
  • 1Password

 

After that, scan the QR code you see on your computer via the authenticator app on your phone.

Once the scan is complete, you will see a verification code displayed within the authentication app. Insert this code within the Verification Code field in the AwardSpace dialogue box on your computer:

Scan the QR code with your phone to enable the authenticator process

 

You will receive a confirmation message. Now, you have successfully verified your device for two-factor authentication.

You can always revoke your device by clicking the Revoke Device button:

Service enabled message
