Two Factor Security

We also offer (and recommend) two factor authentication on all Dynadot accounts. For customers without a smartphone we offer SMS Authentication, as well as the Google Authenticator app for your Android or iPhone. Though optional, two factor authentication increases the security of your Dynadot account and can help prevent unauthorized access.

Security Key

Security keys offer another level of protection and can be easily set up within your Dynadot account. Security keys are a physical device used for authentication - once you have connected your unique key with your Dynadot account, simply touch the button on the key device to authorize login. Use our Help File to learn more about connecting your security key with your Dynadot account.
