  • Avoid using common words or easily guessable information

Password Best Practices

Use Unique Passwords

Never reuse passwords across different services. Your VPS control panel password should be unique to FREAKHOSTING.

Use a Password Manager

Consider using a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass to generate and securely store complex passwords.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Combine a strong password with two-factor authentication for the highest level of account security.

Update Regularly

Change your password periodically, especially if you suspect it may have been compromised or if you have shared it with someone temporarily.
If you cannot remember your current password, you will need to use the Forgot Password option on the login page. This will send a password reset link to your registered email address. You cannot change your password from within the panel without knowing your current one.
Yes, changing your password may invalidate other active sessions. You will need to log in again on any other devices or browsers where you were previously authenticated.
Yes, your new password must meet the minimum security requirements set by the system. We recommend using at least 12 characters for optimal security.
