How to Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Plesk

Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Plesk is an effective way to add an extra layer of security to your account. Follow these steps to enable MFA quickly and securely.

Step 1: Log in to Plesk

  • Log into your Plesk account.

Step 2: Open the Users Section

  • In the left-hand navigation menu, click on Users.

Step 3: Access My Profile

  • Under the Users section, find and select My Profile.

Step 4: Go to Two-Factor Authentication Settings

  • Within My Profile, locate Two-Factor Authentication and click to open the settings.

Step 5: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

  • Click the Enable button to begin the setup process.

Step 6: Scan the QR Code with an Authenticator App

  • A QR code will appear on the screen.
  • Open your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Authy) and scan the QR code displayed.

Step 7: Enter the Verification Code

  • Your authenticator app will generate a unique code; enter this code into the Verification Code field in Plesk.
  • Click Confirm to complete the setup.

Step 8: Save Backup Codes

  • Plesk will generate backup codes in case you lose access to your authenticator app.
  • Save these codes in a secure place; they can be used to regain account access if needed.

Step 9: Confirmation

  • Once confirmed, you’ll see a message indicating that MFA has been enabled successfully.

And that’s it! Multi-Factor Authentication is now enabled, adding an extra layer of security to your Plesk account.
