At OzHosting.com we are committed to keeping your account and hosting environment secure.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your account, helping to safeguard your data and services from unauthorised access. 

We are introducing an important update: starting from Friday August 1st 2025, two-factor authentication (2FA) will be made mandatory for all control panel logins at portal.ozhosting.com (WHMCS control panel).

This change comes in response to the ever-increasing cybersecurity threats across the web and particularly in Australia.

How to enable and configure 2FA for your account

Step 2: open Security Settings 

• this is located at the top-right part of the screen

Step 3: follow the steps to enable 2FA with your favorite authenticator application

• we recommend using Google or Microsoft - as some of the major 2FA authenticator providers

please make sure to save the 2FA backup codes on your end - best to keep this in your passwords manager

you may need those codes to recover access to your account - if you are unable to access your device and/or authenticator app
