Can 2-step at GoDaddy be used on multiple accounts (same phone number)? I have a personal account, my investor account, one for my wife, accounts for clients... but only one phone number.

Remember to use two-factor authentication at GoDaddy for an additional layer of protection. It is available worldwide now.

Cheers for that, I didn't know it was now available worldwide - Just added and works well

Redirected to "godaddy signin" page, put username and password, but was rejected

Erm? You got a questionable email out of the blue, opened the link and you entered your username and password?

 

[manurawat]

be careful....always check ...sender address in mail....
address in link provided ....
and even if you click...check web address ....in address bar

 

[biggie]

first it's just a step, then it's the two-step, next it will be the waltz.

That is scary, since I always use godaddy. I wonder what happens if they DO take your domain ? Is it possible to take it back ?

 

[Archangel]

I'd leave them. I'm deaf, after all.

2 factor authentication is the way to go. This sort of phishing won't work. If only godaddy makes it mandatory for everyone to enable the authentication.

I just got it now. You can see that the address is point to godaddy-verify.name/..... and not to godaddy .com/....

Be careful not click it. I think that godaddy need to handle it.
