About MFA

note

MFA is only available on Cloud and Enterprise editions.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection to your account. When MFA is enabled, you are required to provide additional verification, such as a time-based one-time code, along with your password when logging in. ShellHub supports MFA with TOTP apps, such as Google Authenticator and 1Password.

Once MFA is configured, ShellHub generates a list of recovery codes. Each recovery code has a unique use and is invalidated after use. You can use it to regain account access when you do not have your TOTP provider available or have lost it. See Recover an Account with MFA for further informations.
