How 2FA works with Cox Webmail

When you enable 2FA, you'll need to enter a verification code in addition to your password to access your Cox Webmail account. This code is generated by your chosen 2FA method (e.g., authenticator app, SMS text message, voice call).

Here's an example of how 2FA works:

1. You enter your email address and password to log in to your Cox Webmail account.
2. You're prompted to enter a verification code.
3. You open your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) and enter the 6-digit code displayed.
4. You enter the code and click "Log in" to access your Cox Webmail account.

By enabling 2FA, you're adding an extra layer of security to your Cox Webmail account, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account.
