Let us take closer look at how to setup the roundcube 2fa. With the support of our Roundcube Support Services at Bobcares we will now learn how to set up this authentication feature.

What is Roundcube 2fa?

Roundcube 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is an extra layer of protection that may be setup to prevent unwanted access to Roundcube webmail accounts. In order to log in to their account, users must supply a second form of identity in addition to their username and password.

The Roundcube 2FA plugin provides support for two factor authentication techniques such as TOTP, Google Authenticator, and YubiKey. When 2FA is enabled, users will be requested to input a verification code issued by their 2FA app or hardware token after entering their login and password.

How to setup the Roundcube 2fa?

Activating Roundcube 2FA can help prevent against phishing attempts, in which an attacker pretends to be a reputable website or email in order to deceive a user into giving up their password.

Even if an attacker obtains a user’s password, they will be unable to access the account unless they also have access to the user’s 2FA device.

To enable Roundcube 2FA, the plugin must be installed and enabled on the Roundcube server. Users must additionally setup their own 2FA app or hardware token and connect it to their account.

Depending on the server setup and the 2FA mechanism selected, the precise process for setting up the Roundcube 2FA may differ.
