Configurer des mots de passe et une vérification en 2 étapes
Des mots de passe forts garantissent que les seules personnes ayant accès à votre compte sont vous et les personnes que vous choisissez.
La validation en 2 étapes (2SV) nécessite une étape supplémentaire pour prouver votre identité lorsque vous vous connectez. Une fois que vous avez saisi votre mot de passe, vous devez prouver que vous avez accès à un compte distinct, comme votre messagerie électronique ou à un appareil physique comme votre téléphone. Certaines personnes peuvent appeler cela l'authentification multifactorielle (MFA) ou l'authentification à deux facteurs (2FA).
Why do I need strong passwords or 2-step verification?
Your GoDaddy account is very valuable. It can hold your customers' personal information, domains that can be sold or transferred, and hosting that can be configured for illegal activities. On the dark web, your GoDaddy account is worth about 100x your Facebook account.
A strong password is the first and most important line of defense. 2-step verification provides an additional layer of security that is very hard to penetrate: Someone might get their hands on your secure password, but what are the chances of someone getting your secure password and access to your phone or email account?
What's a strong password?
A strong password is hard for others to guess. Here are some tips for creating strong passwords:
- Utilisez différents types de caractères.
- Make the password as long as practical.
- Don’t use personally identifiable terms, such as your name or birthdate.
- Avoid using common words or phrases. If you use an identifiable word in your password, consider spelling it wrong.

How can I keep my passwords safe?
Never save or share passwords, or use the same password for multiple accounts. Change your passwords regularly.
Because remembering a different strong password for everything you sign in to isn't easy, consider using a password manager to keep track of your passwords and where you use them.
What's a password manager?
Password managers allow you to store, generate, and manage passwords for all your accounts. They can also let you know when it’s time to change a password and help you through the process. For more, see this article on password security and password managers.
