This section consists of four subsections: General Information, Security, Appearance, and History.

Security and Login

On this page, you can change your password for logging into the Beget hosting control panel and set up two-factor authentication. 

Please note!
The password for logging into the Beget control panel is the same as the passwords for the main FTP and SSH accounts. If you encounter any issues or lose your password, please contact technical support. Our specialists will be happy to assist you.

On this tab, you can also enable two-factor authentication to secure your hosting account. Once two-factor authentication is enabled, an additional verification step using a code will appear when you log in to the control panel. 

two-factor authentication options

Hosting protection via two-factor authentication is available through:

  • Email – the code is sent to the account’s contact email address.
  • TOTP – the code is generated in an authentication app (e.g., Yandex Key).
  • SMS – the code is sent to the contact phone number.

Receiving the code via SMS costs 50 rubles per month; the other methods are free.

To enable two-factor authentication via TOTP, you must install one of the supported apps.

connection totp

The Yandex Key, Google Authenticator, and Microsoft Authenticator apps are supported. Download links are available in the TOTP setup form, and instructions for using the apps are available in a separate article.

To set up the app, scan the QR code within the app and enter the generated code in space “2”.

After entering the code, you must enter your password.

Once the app is successfully connected, you will be provided with one-time recovery codes.

one-time recovery codes

Download and save them in a safe place; you will need them if you lose access to the code-generating app.

Please note!
Codes are regenerated every time you enable TOTP.

After enabling two-factor authentication, when logging into your account on the Beget VPS/hosting platform, in addition to entering your password, you will be asked to provide a code from an SMS, email, or the app.

two-factor authentication

In addition to two-factor authentication, you can also use a Passkey to log in to your Beget account if this feature is supported by your device or browser. This feature allows you to log in without entering a username and password, using data stored on your device in combination with biometrics or a PIN code. A single device can store login credentials for multiple Beget accounts.

Please note!
Not all devices support Passkey. If your device is incompatible, you will receive a notification.

To manage your keys, click the corresponding button:

passkey

To add a key, tap Add New Key, then sign in on the device you're using. Using Windows Hello as an example:

passkey management
add key
identity confirmation

The created key will be saved on the device, and the corresponding entry will appear in the list of added keys:

You can also add a comment to a key by clicking the pencil icon; this helps distinguish between keys if you use multiple devices with the same OS/browser combination for authentication.

To delete a key, click the trash can icon next to the key in the list, then confirm the deletion.

Access Restrictions

In this section, you can restrict access to the Control Panel by IP address and limit the functionality of the Beget API.

Restricting access by IP

By default, the system allows access to the Panel from any IP address, except those on the blocked IP list. Using the toggles, you can select the access level to the Panel: allow access to everyone or allow access to the Panel only from specific IP addresses.

Restrictions on access via the Beget API

Beget.API allows you to use most of the control panel’s features from your own scripts, content management systems (CMS), or other software products. For example, using the Beget API, you can:

  • Retrieve information about your hosting account;
  • Manage backups;
  • Manage the task scheduler;
  • Configure DNS;
  • Manage databases;
  • Create and delete websites on your account;
  • Manage domain settings;
  • Manage email accounts.

By default, the Beget API connection uses your account password, but you can set a separate password via a special form in this section:

change api password

To do this, select the Set a new password for the API option.
