It's only recommended that you connect to your package via SSH if you're familiar with the command-line interface. Here is how to connect using two-factor authentication (2FA).
Windows
If you're using Windows, you will want to download an SSH client to access SSH.
You can download PuTTy from the following page: https://www.putty.org/
⦁ You will want first to download the Google Authenticator app , which is available for both iOS and Android devices
⦁ Login via cpanel.yourdomain.com, head to Manage Hosting, and select the package that requires SSH access. Then select SSH Access from under the Security section
⦁ Under Set SSH password, set the password and make a note of this for later on. Then choose Set up Authenticator and proceed to scan the QR code on your iOS or Android device
⦁ Open PuTTY. Enter the hostname 'ssh.stackcp.com' and select Open.
⦁ The command-line interface will request a login. Log in with your domain (e.g., example.com)
⦁ You will then be prompted for a verification code. Open Google Authenticator and enter your code.
⦁ Enter the SSH password which was set up earlier.
⦁ You'll now have access to SSH through 2FA.
