<p>New article (Client Area update, Oct 2026)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Your Client Area controls your services, billing and domains, so it&#039;s important to protect it. We strongly recommend turning on &#039;&#039;&#039;two-factor authentication&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> == Turn on two-factor authentication ==<br /> <br /> Two-factor authentication asks for a code from an app on your phone each time you log in, as well as your password. Even if someone learns your password, they can&#039;t log in without your phone.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;1.&#039;&#039;&#039; Log in to the [https://billing.ace-host.net Client Area].<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;2.&#039;&#039;&#039; Click &#039;&#039;&#039;Hello, &#039;&#039;your name&#039;&#039;!&#039;&#039;&#039; at the top right, then &#039;&#039;&#039;Security Settings&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;3.&#039;&#039;&#039; Under &#039;&#039;&#039;Two-Factor Authentication&#039;&#039;&#039;, click &#039;&#039;&#039;Click here to Enable&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;4.&#039;&#039;&#039; Follow the steps on the screen. You&#039;ll scan a QR code with an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy, and enter the code it shows.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;5.&#039;&#039;&#039; If you&#039;re given a backup code, save it somewhere safe. You&#039;ll need it to log in if you lose your phone.<br /> <br /> From then on, you&#039;ll enter a code from the app each time you log in.<br /> <br /> == More ways to protect your account ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Use a strong, unique password.&#039;&#039;&#039; Don&#039;t reuse a password from another website.
