Two factor authentication outside U.S. — GoDaddy introduces

Security tool expanded to 185 countries.

Non-U.S. clients of GoDaddy can now activate two-factor authentication to add security to their accounts.

The service has been available in the U.S. for a number of years, and international clients have been asking for it.

The SMS-based system sends a text message to clients following they enter their standard login credentials. They must enter a code from the text message ahead of gaining access to their account.

In theory, this means someone would have to obtain both your login credentials and phone in order to crack into your account.

Other registrars, such as Uniregistry and eNom, use Google Authenticator as an app-based two factor authentication. These work in all countries.

GoDaddy’s international expansion of two-factor authentication adds 184 countries, so odds are it works where you live.
