We are happy to announce that UpCloud customers can now enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security through random passwords that are generated specifically for your username and are only valid for a limited time. This way if someone was to gain access to your username and password, they would not be able to log in without this time-sensitive code.<\/p>\n

We strongly recommend all customers to take advantage of this feature. There is no cost attached to two-factor authentication and it is freely available today for all accounts.<\/p>\n

We chose a technology called Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (more commonly referred to as TOTP), due to the widespread adoption of it and support through multiple different mobile applications on all major platforms. You can see a list of these apps with direct links in the UpCloud Control Panel next to the QR-code (User Accounts under My Account). Google Authenticator is perhaps the most widely spread with support for Android, iPhone and Blackberry.<\/p>\n

While enabling this functionality is very intuitive, head over to our support section for any questions you may have on how to enable two-factor authentication on UpCloud<\/a>.
