2FA requires a smartphone with a supported time-based one-time password (TOTP) app. We suggest the following apps for Android™ and iOS®. Both are free in the respective app store.

Google Authenticator

Duo Mobile

|  |  |

For this tutorial, we are using the Google Authenticator.

You will now see a QR code which you will need to scan into your authenticator.

Open the app and press the + at the bottom right.

Scan the unique QR code you see in webmail.

Take that number that is now displayed in your authenticator and enter it in here:

After you successfully authenticate it you will see this...

Now go test it out!

Visit: yourdomain.com/webmail

Login with your email address and password as you normally would.

After you login, you will now see a prompt for the 2FA.

Open your app and look at the generated number and punch it in. That 2FA code is automatically changed and random.
