Enable an identity verification method for your GoDaddy account

For better account security, set up an identity verification method. After you add a verification method, we'll ask you to validate your identity (using a one-time code or a hardware security key) during high-risk actions or if we detect suspicious login attempts. Otherwise, all you need to sign in is your GoDaddy username and password.

1. Go to your GoDaddy Security page. You might be prompted to sign in.
2. Below Verification Methods, select Add Method.
   
3. Choose the verification method you'd like to use:
   • 인증 앱(권장): Google Authenticator 또는 Authy와 같은 인증 앱에서 코드를 생성합니다. 대부분의 GoDaddy 계정 소유자는 이 방식을 선택해야 합니다.
   • SMS text messages: The code will be sent to you as a text. This method is a convenient option, but may not be as reliable as authenticator apps if you're outside the service area of your cellular provider.
   • Security key: A USB or Bluetooth-enabled hardware security key will be used for authentication. We recommended using a hardware security key if you're a domain investor or want the highest level of security. We support USB or Bluetooth-enabled keys that meet the FIDO U2F standard, such as many YubiKeys or Google Titan.
4. Select Next, and then complete the setup process according to the method you selected:
   • If you chose Authenticator App, follow the instructions to install an app on your phone and scan the barcode. Enter the authentication code and the name of the app, then select Next.
   • If you selected SMS text messages, enter your phone number, then select Next. Enter the 6-digit code we text you (it's good for the next 20 minutes), then select Next.
   • If you selected Security Key, have the security key nearby but don't conenct it yet. Select Next, then follow the onscreen instructions.
   Once we verify the method you selected, you'll see a success message confirming your changes, and the method appears in the Verification list.
   
   Required: If you selected a security key, you must add a backup verification method as described next.
5. Select Add Backup.
   
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add a backup verification method. For best results, set your backup method on a different device. For example, if your default method is an authenticator app on your laptop, use SMS text messages on your phone as the backup.
   
   Note: We always recommend that you set up at least one backup verification method. If you lose access to one of your methods (like if you change your phone number), you can still use the backup to access your account.
