How to Enable 2-Factor Authentication in HayHost

1. Navigate to your HayHost client area, then click on "Hello, Your-First-Name" in the upper right-hand corner. 

2. In the menu that appears click on "Security Settings"(Here is a direct link to the Security Settings as well). 

 

 

3. On the next screen click the "Click here to Enable" button in the "Two-Factor Authentication" box.

 

4. This will begin the "Enable Two-Factor Authentication" wizard.  There will only be one option which is "Time Based Tokens".

    Click on the blue "Get Started" button.

 

5. You will then see a QR Code that has been generated.  You will scan that QR code with your authentication application of choice such as Google Authenticator.  Once this has been scanned you will be given a 6-Digit number.  To finish setting up the 2-Factor Authentication you would enter that 6-Digit number into the "Enter authentication code" button and click "Submit".

 

6. This will have fully enabled 2-Factor Authentication on your account.  From this point forward when you are signing into our client area you will need to provide the 6-Digit code from your authentication application of choice to completely log in.

You are given a backup code as a part of enabling 2-Factor authentication. Make sure to keep this code safe and store it in a location you will not lose it.
