Setting Up 2FA On WPS Cloud

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.



Your account configuration panel can be accessed through the profile menu — simply select Security or Account Settings to continue.



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.



For maximum security, we strongly advise using a dedicated authenticator app like Authy, Google Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator.



Unlike SMS, these apps work offline and generate codes locally, eliminating vulnerabilities tied to network-based delivery.



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



Within your authenticator app, press the plus icon, choose "Scan Barcode," and align your phone’s camera with the QR code displayed.



A temporary 6-digit code will appear in the app — this code is tied directly to your WPS Cloud login.



Paste the six-digit number from your authenticator app into the confirmation field and click Verify to finalize the process.



It is crucial to save the backup codes provided during this process.



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.



Storing recovery codes with your passwords defeats the purpose of MFA — keep them completely separate and offline.



Once the authenticator app is linked and verified, multi factor authentication will be active for your WPS Cloud account.



The next time you log in from a new device or browser, you will be asked to enter the six digit code generated by your authenticator app after entering your password.



There’s an option to mark the current device as trusted — this will exempt it from 2FA for the next 30 days.



Always turn off SMS-based 2FA if you have the option — it’s significantly less secure than app-based methods.



Attackers can hijack phone numbers through social engineering, compromising SMS-based codes.



Lock your device with a complex PIN, biometric authentication, or pattern to safeguard your authentication tokens.



Regularly check the list of logged-in devices and active sessions under Security Settings.



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.



This small additional step provides a powerful defense against common cyber threats and helps ensure that your personal and professional documents remain private and secure
