Virtualizor TWO factor authentication Print

Overview
Virtualizor, the VPS control panel, supports 2FA for both admin and end-user logins. This significantly reduces the risk of account compromise from stolen passwords.

Steps to Enable 2FA in Virtualizor (End-User):

1. Log in to Your Virtualizor Panel

   • Typically via a link provided by your hosting provider (e.g., https://yourserverip:4083).

2. Go to Account Settings

   • Click on your username (top right corner) and choose Two Factor Authentication from the menu.

3. Enable 2FA

   • Select Enable 2FA.

   • A QR code will appear on the screen.

4. Set Up in Authenticator App

   • Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.).

   • Add a new account and scan the QR code.

5. Verify the Code

   • Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app into Virtualizor’s verification field.

   • Click Enable 2FA or Save.

6. Test the Login

   • Log out and log back in to confirm that the 2FA prompt appears.

Notes for Admin Users:

• Admins can enforce 2FA for all users from the Virtualizor Admin Panel under Configuration → Master Settings → Two Factor Authentication.

Tips:

• Keep a backup method to access your account in case your phone is lost.

• Avoid SMS-based 2FA if possible; app-based 2FA is more secure.
