Instructions for activating the 2-Factor Authentication feature on VinaHost account

For additional security for customers using services at VinaHost. VinaHost has added the Two-Factor Authentication feature (English: 2-factor authentication, abbreviated 2FA) which requires two authentication factors that depend on each other to prove your identity is correct.

Each authentication requires two factors at the same time: self-set user information (PIN, password) and user information received from the service provider (OTP, USB, Token, Grid Card…). With the two factors combined, hackers will not be able to steal all the information necessary to penetrate the account, greatly increasing account security.

Step 1: First access your VinaHost account > Select Security Settings
