Credentials
The Credentials tab gathers the access details for a host - server-level access and the credentials for each system user account.
This tab covers:
Server - host-level access, addresses, and platform detailsPer-account credentials - databases, FTP, and user passwords
Important
Credentials are secrets. Passwords are hidden by default - click the eye icon to reveal one. Use the copy icons rather than retyping, and never share or store these values insecurely.
Server
The Server section lists host-level access:
- Hostname - the server's fully-qualified name.
- Server Public IPv4 and Server Public IPv6 - the server's public addresses.
- Platform, Webserver, and the database version.
On a host managed by a control panel (cPanel or DirectAdmin, see
System types), the Server section also shows the panel's
admin login (the admin account and its password). Use it to sign in to the control panel
itself. The server's root password is not shown; server-level access is managed for you by
Hosted Power.
Per-account credentials
Each system user has its own section showing its account name, PHP version and applications, plus the credentials it owns:
- MySQL databases - database, user and password for each database.
- Database extra users - additional read-only or admin database users.
- PostgreSQL databases - same layout as MySQL, when PostgreSQL is enabled.
- FTP users - FTP username, password and path.
Every value has a copy icon, and passwords have a reveal toggle.
