How Does It Work?

Before an agent can provide you with account-specific information, they need to validate that you have authorized access to the account. When you’re asked for validation, simply provide the single-use 6-digit validation token to the agent you’re speaking with.

Where Can I Find It?

Account Manager

1. Click the account icon in the top right-hand corner, then click the My Profile from the drop-down.
     
2. You can find your validation token under Security section.

Add Token to My Mobile Device

After you’ve installed an authenticator app, follow the steps below to add validation tokens to your device:

1. Log in to your Bluehost.com control panel.
2. Click the account icon in the top right-hand corner.
3. Click the My Profile from the drop-down.
4. Scroll down at the bottom and look for the Two Factor Authentication section.
5. Use the app to scan the QR code or manually enter the Secret Key to link your Bluehost account to your device.

If you haven’t already secured your account with two-factor authentication, you’re just one step away. Check out our Two-Factor Authentication article.
