Does Namecheap support 2FA?

How to enable 2FA on Namecheap

1. Sign in to your Namecheap account.
2. Open Account settings → Security (the exact path varies; see the official docs link above).
3. Choose your preferred method from the list — TOTP and hardware keys are the recommended options.
4. For TOTP: scan the QR code with Kaito or your authenticator app of choice. Verify the first 6-digit code before saving.
5. For hardware keys: insert your key when prompted and tap to enroll. Register at least two keys per account so loss of one doesn't lock you out.
6. Save the recovery codes somewhere safe — they're your last resort if you lose your authenticator and your hardware keys.

Sharing Namecheap 2FA with a team (with Kaito)

Registrar 2FA is critical infrastructure. If Namecheap is your registrar, restrict the Kaito grant to the smallest possible group and stream every code-generation event to your SIEM.

1. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and add the Namecheap 2FA seed (or scan the QR).
2. Permission the token to a group: code-only for most teammates, full-seed only for the admins who would handle rotation.
3. Stream the audit log to your SIEM if you want a complete record of which team members generated codes for Namecheap and when.

Namecheap permits shared access in their terms of service.
