Overview
This article provides general guidance to help you keep your DreamHost panel safe and secure.
How to strengthen your panel's security
You can increase the security of your panel by following a few simple steps.
Increasing panel-access security
In your panel, navigate to the Security page to perform the following:
- Change your panel password
- Enable Multifactor Authentication
- Change your secret question & answer
- Enable IP locking
- Examine and terminate active sessions.
DreamHost recommends that you update your passwords often — every 90 days is a good time frame. See this article for more information about password security.
Using Account Privileges
Another way to keep your panel secure is to allow another user access to certain features only after assigning them account privileges. This allows you to grant access to specific areas in your panel without sharing your login information. You can learn more about this feature in this article.
