Setting Up 2FA on WPS Cloud > 자유게시판

Activating MFA for your WPS Cloud account is a vital practice to defend your sensitive data against breaches and hacking attempts.

To begin the setup process, first log in to your WPS Cloud account using your email address and password through the official website or the WPS Office application.

Once you are logged in, navigate to the account settings section.

Look for the settings gear icon near your profile picture and choose either Security Settings or Account Management from the options presented.

Find the section titled Two-Factor Authentication or MFA within the security controls.

Select Activate or Configure to initiate the setup wizard.

You'll need to pick a verification method for the second step of login.

The most common and recommended option is using an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy.

These apps generate time based one time passwords that refresh every 30 seconds and do not rely on internet connectivity or SMS delivery, making them more secure.

A scannable QR code will appear automatically once you choose app-based authentication.

Open your chosen authenticator app on your smartphone, tap the option to add a new account, and then scan the QR code with your phone’s camera.

The app will then generate a six digit code that corresponds to your WPS Cloud account.

Input the generated code into the designated box on the WPS Cloud security page to complete verification.

Do not skip saving the emergency access codes generated during setup.

If your device becomes inaccessible, these one-time codes allow you to log in and restore your authentication setup.

Download or print these backup codes and store them in a secure location, such as a locked drawer or encrypted digital vault.

Avoid keeping backup codes in note apps, email drafts, or cloud folders linked to your account.

Your account is now protected by multi-factor authentication, requiring both password and app code for access.

Whenever signing in from an unrecognized device or browser, you’ll need to provide the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app after typing your password.

You may also be given the option to remember the device for 30 days to avoid repeated two step verification on trusted devices.

For added security, consider disabling SMS based authentication if it is offered as an alternative.

SIM swapping allows criminals to receive your SMS codes — authenticator apps eliminate this risk entirely.

Always ensure that your phone is protected with a strong passcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition to prevent unauthorized access to your authenticator app.

Audit your active sessions monthly to detect any suspicious activity.

If you notice any unfamiliar devices or locations, immediately log out of those sessions and consider changing your password.

Stay protected by enabling automatic updates for both your authenticator app and mobile device software.

By enabling multi factor authentication on your WPS Cloud account, you significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to your files.

With MFA enabled, even stolen passwords won’t grant access — keeping your files safe from digital intruders
