How Can I Securely Log Into My Hostinger Account?
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your account’s “Security” settings. Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords. Avoid public Wi-Fi for logins; if necessary, pair with a VPN. Monitor login activity under “Active Sessions” and revoke unrecognized devices immediately.
For enhanced security, consider using hardware security keys like YubiKey, which provide phishing-resistant authentication. Hostinger also supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) through apps like Google Authenticator. Regularly audit your account’s authorized devices and set session expiration limits to automatically log out inactive connections. Below is a comparison of security methods:
| Method | Security Level | Ease of Use |
|---|---|---|
| SMS 2FA | Medium | High |
| Authenticator App | High | Medium |
| Hardware Key | Very High | Low |
How to Integrate Third-Party Apps with Hostinger?
In hPanel, navigate to “Advanced” → “API.” Generate API keys for tools like WordPress, Zapier, or Cloudflare. Whitelist IP addresses and restrict permissions to minimize security risks. Use Hostinger’s Marketplace for one-click installations of CMS platforms and e-commerce tools.
When integrating payment gateways like PayPal or Stripe, ensure SSL certificates are active to encrypt transaction data. For developers, Hostinger’s API allows automated deployment scripts and CI/CD pipeline configurations. Below are popular integration scenarios:
| Application | Integration Purpose | Setup Time |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Content Management | 5 minutes |
| Zapier | Workflow Automation | 10 minutes |
| Cloudflare | DNS Management | 7 minutes |
Why Can’t I Log In via Hostinger’s Mobile App?
Ensure the app is updated via Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Uninstall/reinstall if authentication errors persist. Confirm app permissions for location/notifications. For persistent issues, use the mobile browser version of Hostinger or enable biometric login in app settings.

Some devices with custom ROMs or rooted/jailbroken status may trigger security blocks. Check if your Android/iOS version meets the app’s minimum requirements. If push notifications fail, manually refresh the session or toggle airplane mode to reset network connections. Hostinger’s mobile app also supports dark mode and offline documentation access for troubleshooting without internet.
“Proactive security measures like IP whitelisting and session timeouts drastically reduce unauthorized access risks. Always pair 2FA with hardware security keys for high-value accounts. Hostinger’s API also supports automated backups, which is critical for disaster recovery.”
