In order to assist you with this, we have option to enable 2-factor authentication for each member accounts at no additional costs. This will require an additional special code to be entered to login along with your regular password. This special code is generated on your mobile device (iOS, Android or Windows Phone) through Google Authenticator app. In order to get started, please follow steps outlined below:

  1. After logging into members portal (https://members.softsyshosting.com), click on "Edit Account Details" in pull down menu (top right corner under your name) - refer attachment 2-factor-1.png
