When enabled, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) increases your account’s security by requiring a second method of verification before you can login to No-IP.com’s website.
2FA Setup Instructions
Navigate to the Security page. Login to your No-IP account and click your username on the top right of the screen. In this menu, click Security.
Download and install an authentication app. This article will be using 1Password. If you’d rather use a different app see our articles for Duo, LastPass or Authy. They’re all available on the Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS.1Password is not a free application so we recommend you use this only if you already use 1Password. You can use Duo, Authy, or Lastpass to set up 2FA without a subscription.
