Security Policy

Overview

This interface allows you to update and manage your cPanel account’s security questions. You can also add access IP addresses. When you attempt to log in to your cPanel account from a verified access IP address, the system will not require you to answer the security questions.

Your hosting provider may require you to answer these security questions if you attempt to access your cPanel account from an unverified IP address. This policy helps to keep your server secure.
