    Why you should use 2FA for Hetzner?

    Hetzner is a popular hosting provider that offers a range of services to businesses and individuals. If you're using Hetzner, it's important to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account from unauthorized access.
     
    
     2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of authentication in addition to your password. This can be a code generated by an app like our Authenticator, or a physical token like a YubiKey.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on Hetzner is easy. Simply go to your account settings and select "Security" from the menu. From there, you can enable 2FA and choose the method that works best for you.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to keep your Hetzner account secure. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and never share it with anyone. Keep your software up to date and be wary of phishing scams that may try to trick you into giving away your login credentials.
     
    
     At our Authenticator, we take security and privacy seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to protect your 2FA codes and we never store any of your data on our servers. By using our app to store your Hetzner 2FA codes, you can rest assured that your account is as secure as possible.
