How to set up and use two-factor authentication at GoDaddy.com: Video

Video gives step-by-step instructions for increasing security in your Go Daddy account.

Two-factor authentication is one of the best ways to make any online account more secure.

Go Daddy introduced two-factor authentication for its United States clients last year.

Once you set up the service you will receive a text message every time you log in to your account. In addition to your username and password, you need to enter a six digit code from the text message in order to access your account.

The idea is that, even if someone learns your username and password, they’ll also need your mobile phone in order to get into your account.

In this video, I’ll show you how to enable two-factor authentication at GoDaddy.com, and how it works each time you log in.
