Introduction

To enhance account security, IP ServerOne enforces all users to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Customer Portal access starting 15 June 2026.

2FA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second verification method (email or authenticator app) in addition to your password. This helps prevent unauthorized access and keeps your account secure.

All users must set up 2FA to continue accessing the portal. If no method is configured, email verification will be enabled by default. Kindly refer to the following steps to change the authentication (2FA) method according to your preference.

Steps to change 2FA using the Authenticator App

1. Log in to the Customer Portal using your existing credentials.

2. You will be prompted to enter the authentication code.If no authentication method has been set up, a verification code will be sent to your registered email address by default.
Retrieve the code from your email, enter it in the authentication field, and click Verify.

3. Once logged in, click on the profile icon in the top right corner and select My Account from the drop-down menu.

4. On the Account page, click Account Security.

Alternatively, kindly send your request using your registered email address to cs@ipserverone.com. Our team will verify your request and disable 2FA on our end.

Once 2FA is disabled, the system will automatically revert the authentication method to email by default. You may then log in to the Customer Portal and complete the 2FA verification using your primary registered email address.
