<\/p>\n
In case the\u00a0Scan a barcode<\/strong><\/b> option is chosen, the camera app will open, and you will need to place the QR code from the cPanel within the red lines displayed.<\/p>\nIt is also possible to use the\u00a0Enter a provided key<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0option. You will be prompted to the next page where you will need to enter the following details previously specified in the cPanel:<\/p>\n\n- Account name<\/li>\n
- Your key<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The key can be either\u00a0time-based<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0counter-based<\/strong><\/b>. With the\u00a0time-based\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>option, the 2FA app generates a new six-digit security code for your cPanel account every 30 seconds. With the\u00a0counter-based<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0key, you tap a button, which then asks for the next number.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/telahosting.com\/manual\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/telaHosting-Featured-image-template-56-711x400.avif\")

If you choose the\u00a0Get Started<\/b>\u00a0option, you will be redirected to the next window to scan an activation barcode.

After you entered the code, you will be able to continue and log into the cPanel.<\/div>\n

NOTE:<\/b> The cPanel will accept a code for sixty seconds after it has been generated; however, this doesn’t account for apps that generate a new code every fifteen or thirty seconds. Because these apps generate a new code more than is actually needed, there will be instances where two or more codes are valid at the same time (keep in mind this is only for sixty seconds).<\/div>\n\u00a0<\/div>\n
