How do I Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for My20i?

2FA or two-factor authentication is a two-step verification process which offers an extra layer of security when accessing your account. Once enabled, your logins to My20i can only be completed if both your password and an authenticator code is provided. We support TOTP authenticator apps, such as those from Google and Microsoft.

Add a New Authenticator

From inside My20i, follow the link to Security Details under Account Preferences section.

Towards the bottom of this page, you'll see a section titled Two-Factor Authentication. To add your first device, enter your current login password and name the device you wish to add. The Device Name is purely for your own reference.

Adding a Second Authenticator

There's no limit on the number of devices you can add, and we recommend having at least two devices on your account. This is in case one of your authenticators is lost or unavailable. Once a device has been added to your account, future devices can be added by entering a code from an existing authenticator device.

Removing an Authenticator

To remove a device, select delete from the list of your authenticator devices, on the same page.

Lost Device

If you're unable to access your account after it has been protected by 2FA, please call our sales team on 0333 344 2720 (Option 1). We’ll work with you to reset your access. Lines are open 24 hours a day. Alternatively, please email sales@20i.com.

2FA for StackCP Users

Users of the StackCP control panel can enable 2FA themselves. 2FA setup is in the StackCP Security Details menu (top-left). Resellers can manage users' devices and verify 2FA codes in the StackCP Users area of My20i.

Compatible 2FA Apps

We recommend using the 2FA mobile app from either Google or Microsoft, as these have been tested to work on our platform:

Google
Microsoft

Alternatively, other customers have used and had success with the following apps:

Authy (iPhone/Android)
AuthenticatorCC (Chrome/Firefox)
Ente (Windows/Mac/Linux)
2fast (Windows/Mac/Linux)
2stable Authenticator (Mac)
Raivo (Mac)

If you'd prefer a different app, our 2FA system should be compatible with all standard TOTP apps.

How do I add account credit to my 20i account?

You’ll need account credit on your 20i Reseller account to take orders through HostShop. When a client orders services like domains, we’ll use account credit to pay for the domain so it can be provisioned automatically. To do this:

Head to the Account Credit section in your 20i account.

Account credit in My20i

Select the amount of credit you’d like to add from the drop-down menu
Select whether you want to add credit using a card or PayPal
Select Add Credit to Basket or Add Credit with PayPal

Note: Should an order fail due to insufficient balance in your account, once you’ve added credit to your account you’ll be able to find and re-process the order by going to Customers > Overview > Failed Orders and selecting View Order and then Process. This will retry the order with your new balance.

You'll then be able to complete the order and add balance to your 20i account.

How can I identify a 20i phishing email?

Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in the number of phishing emails targeting our customers. This article will outline some the key things to look out for to help you identify a potentially fraudulent phishing email – and what to do if you receive one.

'Phishing' is when scammers use scam emails or other means of communication to trick victims into providing sensitive or personal information. These emails will often refer the recipient to a fake website. The site is designed to replicate the service that they are imitating. In the case of 20i, we’ve seen links to fake versions of our My20i control panel and Stackmail platforms sent out to our customers.

Some of the signs of a phishing email include:

The email isn’t addressed to your name. Many phishing emails will address the recipient of the email with a generic term such as ‘Dear Client’ or just simply ‘Hi’ – we’ll never do that. On all automated emails from My20i, we’ll address you by the name that has been set on the Contact Details page within your My20i account.
The email has been received through a different email address to the one registered on your My20i account. The phishing emails that have targeted 20i customers in the past have been sent to email addresses that are listed on websites that are hosted by 20i (or where the domain name is registered with us). In these cases, the perpetrators have scraped these websites for email addresses on contact pages/forms. Often, this isn’t the email address that we hold on your account. If you are a 20i reseller, this will likely end up being your customer’s email address. 20i will only ever send account management emails (such as domain renewals) to the email address associated with your My20i account. Remember, 20i will never communicate with your customers using the 20i branded email template.
The email hasn’t been received from the ‘20i.com’ domain. All automated emails sent from ourselves will be sent from the ‘20i.com’ domain. If the email you’ve received isn’t, then it’s likely that you’ve received a phishing email. All messages we send are DKIM signed – if the email you’ve received isn’t signed then it most likely isn’t genuine!
The information in the email isn’t correct. Does the email state that your domain name is up for renewal and you need to click the link below to renew your domain? However, when you check your My20i account the domain renewal is not due yet? If so, something might not quite be right!
Poor written spelling and grammar. Although this isn’t always the case, many fraudulent emails will contain poor grammar and incorrect spelling – our automated system emails do not.
Check the Email Notifications page in your My20i account. For any notification email that we send to you, there’ll also be a copy in the ‘Email Notifications’ page within your account (https://my.20i.com/account/notifications). If the email that you have received isn’t shown here then it’s most probably a fake!

What should I do once I have identified a phishing email?

Don’t click any links in the email! Links inside these emails will often redirect you to deceptive sites designed to look just like My20i, Stackmail or StackCP. If you’re ever unsure about a link that’s asking for payment, we’d recommend heading to the ‘Email notifications’ page in My20i. If it’s there, you’re can be assured that it’s genuine.
Don’t enter any personal information! If you’re dubious about an email that you’ve received, please don’t enter any of your sensitive information. Once you do so it is often too late and the criminals with already have your information.
Contact 20i Support. Please provide the full email headers to our support team who will be able to pass them onto the 20i Abuse team. This information is invaluable in being able to detect where (and potentially who) the email has been from – and also helps us take action against the emails to prevent any more victims. You can also send the email directly (as an attachment, not forwarding it) to supportteam@20i.com.

What should I do if I do click on link/provide personal information?

The first step would be to ensure that you update your My20i account password immediately. The quicker you update your password after entering into the deceptive site the lower the chance of the fraudster being able to access your account. We’d also advise that you update the password on any other services where you use the same email/password combination. However, we’d always recommend using different security information for every site you access, and making use of a password manager to keep track of everything.
Add Two Factor Authentication. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds another layer of security to your account which makes it more difficult for hackers to access your account. Once enabled, your logins to My20i can only be completed if both your password and an authenticator code is provided. We support TOTP authenticator apps, such as those from Google and Microsoft. See more: https://www.20i.com/support/my-services/two-factor-authentication-my20i
Cancel/suspend your bank card. If you have entered your card details into the form then we would recommend contacting your bank and cancelling your card as soon as possible. Many banks allow you to suspend or cancel card directly through your online or mobile banking app without having to call them.

What is the "New Login Location" email notification?

If you've received a "New Login Location" notification to your 20i account's main email address, you may be concerned about what this means. In this article, we'll explain exactly that, along with any necessary steps and extra precautions you may need to take.

Why have I received a "New Login Location" email?

The purpose of this email is to notify users of a potential security event related to their account.

Specifically, it alerts the user that their account has been accessed from a new location, which could indicate either a legitimate login from a different device or location, or potentially unauthorized access.

This type of notification is a common security measure implemented by many online services to enhance account security and user awareness.

What does this email mean for me?

It's important to note that receiving this email is not necessarily a cause for concern. There are several benign reasons why you might receive such a notification.

For instance, it could be that you have logged into your account from a new device, such as a new smartphone or computer.

Alternatively, it might be due to a change in your IP address, which can happen if your internet service provider (ISP) uses dynamic IP addressing.

Additionally, if you are travelling and access your account from a different geographical location, this will also trigger the notification.

However, if you do not recognize the login activity, it is crucial to take immediate action, such as changing your password, to safeguard your account. We also recommend the use of 2FA on your account whenever possible.

In conclusion, the "New Login Location" email notification is sent as a simple reminder that your account has been accessed from a new IP address. In most cases, this will simply be due to one of the above benign reasons and shouldn't be cause for concern.

If you're at all concerned about your account's security, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our support team.

Enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) in My20i for Microsoft and Google Accounts

At 20i, we aim to simplify your login process by allowing you to use your corporate Microsoft or Google accounts to access My20i. This Single Sign-On (SSO) feature streamlines password management, making it easier for your organization to manage access for employees and contractors.

Additional Notes

Team Member Access: You can also create Team Members in My20i who can log in using their corporate accounts.

You will need to ensure that their user email address on the My20i account is exactly the same as their corporate email address that they will use to login via either Google or Microsoft.

Their username should be the local part of their corporate email address. For example, if their email address is johndoe@20iexample.com then their username should be johndoe.

Set their access permissions as needed. For assistance with creating Team Member accounts, please see here.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please contact our support team.
