Overview
You can keep your DreamHost panel secure by strengthening panel-access security on the Security page and by granting other users account privileges instead of sharing your login. This article walks through both approaches.
How do I strengthen my panel's security?
You can increase the security of your panel by following a few simple steps.
How do I increase 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.
How do Account Privileges keep my panel secure?
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.
