Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your billing account. After enabling it, login will require not only your password, but also a one-time code from your authentication app.

How to enable 2FA

  1. Open the security settings page:
    https://ramendomains.name/user/security
  2. Click "Click here to Enable", then click "Get Started".
  3. WHMCS will generate a setup code/QR for your authenticator app.
    Use Google Authenticator or Duo (download links are available on the same page if the app is not installed yet).
  4. Scan the QR code in the app (or enter the key manually).
  5. Enter the one-time code generated by the app and click "Submit".
  6. After successful verification, the system will generate a backup recovery code.
    Save it in a secure place — it is required if your phone is lost, replaced, or the app becomes unavailable.

Done! 2FA is now enabled for your WHMCS account.

Tip: You can also enable  2FA in your hosting control panel (Plesk) for even stronger account protection:
