First login and two-factor authentication

Sign in as admin, enrol two-factor authentication, and optionally limit admin by IP.

After install, open:

  • https://panel.example.com/admin
  • https://panel.example.com/client
  • https://panel.example.com/reseller

The generated admin username and password are written to a root-only file on the server. There is no default password. Read that file as root.

Sign in and enrol two-factor authentication before you create hosting accounts. The panel will not create clients until that is done. Two-factor authentication is required for administrators and cannot be turned off for them. Resellers must use it as well.

You can also limit the admin area to a list of IP addresses. Do that after you can sign in from an address on the list, or you will lock yourself out.
