Add a hardware security key for two-step verification
For the best available account security, enable a hardware security key for two-step verification (2SV). We support USB or Bluetooth-enabled keys that meet the FIDO U2F standard, such as many Yubikeys or Google Titan.
Note: If you use a security key, you need a backup method so Support can verify your identity. We recommend an authenticator app for much better security than SMS messaging. For info on setting up the app, see Enable two-step verification.
- Go to your GoDaddy Login & PIN page. You might be prompted to log in if you're not already.
- In the 2-Step Verification section, click Add Verification.
- Below How do you want to receive verification codes, select Security key and then click Next. Have your security key nearby, but don't connect it yet.
- Click Next and then follow the onscreen instructions. Once we verify your key, you'll see a success message.
- Click Add Back Up.
- Below Choose your additional verification method, select Authenticator app.
- Click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to set up the app as your backup authentication method.
