How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Your Account

Security isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. Adding Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to your Media Giant Hosting account gives you an extra layer of protection beyond just a password. Even if someone gets hold of your password, they won’t be able to access your account without your 2FA code.

We highly recommend using an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) instead of SMS-based 2FA, as it’s more secure and harder to intercept.

Follow these simple steps to enable 2FA on your account:

Step 1: Log into the Media Giant Hosting Client Portal

 1. Go to the Media Giant Hosting Client Portal and log in with your credentials.

 2. Once logged in, navigate to Security Settings or Account Security under your profile menu.

Step 2: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

 1. Click on Enable Two-Factor Authentication to start the setup process.

 2. You’ll see a QR code displayed on the screen. This is what you’ll scan with your authenticator app.

Step 3: Set Up Your Authenticator App

 1. Download an authenticator app if you don’t have one already:

• Google Authenticator (iOS/Android)

• Authy (iOS/Android/Desktop)

 2. Open the app and select Add Account or Scan QR Code.

 3. Use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code displayed in the client portal.

 4. The app will now generate a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds.

Step 4: Confirm and Save Your Backup Code

 1. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app into the client portal to confirm.

 2. Once verified, you’ll receive a backup code. Save this in a secure place! If you ever lose access to your phone, this code will let you back into your account.

Step 5: Test and Complete Setup

 1. Log out of your account and try logging back in.

 2. After entering your password, you’ll now be prompted to enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.

 3. Enter the code, and boom—you’re in!

Congratulations! Your account is now secured with 2FA, adding an extra layer of defense against hackers and unauthorized access.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

What if I lose my phone?

If you lose access to your authenticator app, use the backup code you saved earlier to log in and reset 2FA.

I forgot to save my backup code. What now?

Contact our support team via a ticket, and we’ll help you recover access after verifying your identity.

Can I disable 2FA later?

No, we require it of all client accounts. 

Final Thoughts: Stay Secure

With 2FA enabled, your account is much harder to compromise. Cyber threats are always evolving, and passwords alone just don’t cut it anymore.
