Your Game Panel login has its own settings page at [panel.endercloud.in/account](https://panel.endercloud.in/account). It has five sections: **General**, **Security**, **SSH Keys**, **API Keys** and **Activity**. These only affect the Game Panel; your billing account at billing.endercloud.in has separate settings (see [Billing account settings explained](/docs/billing-account-settings-explained)). ## General - **Change email**: the email you use to log in to the Game Panel. Your panel account was created with your billing email, and **Forgot password?** on the panel sends the reset link to this address, so keep it one you can read. - **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Username**: click **Update Profile** to save. Your username is the first part of your SFTP username (`username.serverid`), so after changing it, check the new SFTP username in **SFTP Details** and update FileZilla or WinSCP. - **Appearance**: **Light**, **Dark**, **Oled** (an extra-dark theme made for OLED phone screens) or **Auto** (follows your device). - **Display Mode**: **Normal** or **Compact** (tighter layout). - **Panel Sounds**: turn panel sound effects on or off. - **Privacy Mode**: hides sensitive information on screen. Turn it on before you stream, record or share your screen. - **Animations**: turn them off if the panel feels slow on an older phone or you prefer less motion. ## Security: password and two-factor authentication Here you change your Game Panel password and turn on **two-factor authentication (2FA)** for the panel. 1. Install an authenticator app on your phone (for example Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Aegis). 2. In **Security**, start the two-factor setup and scan the QR code with the app. 3. Enter the 6-digit code from the app to confirm. 4. Save any recovery codes the panel shows somewhere safe, offline. They let you in if you lose your phone. > **Note:** > **Panel 2FA and billing 2FA are separate.** Turning on 2FA here does not protect billing.endercloud.in, and the other way round. Turn it on in both places: see [How to enable two-factor authentication](/docs/how-to-enable-two-factor-authentication) for billing. Changing your panel password also changes your SFTP password, because SFTP uses your panel password. Update saved logins in FileZilla or WinSCP. Server owners can see in **Users** whether each sub-user has 2FA enabled. ## SSH Keys (password-free SFTP) An SSH key lets you log in to SFTP with a key file on your computer instead of typing your panel password. You add the **public** key to the panel; the **private** key never leaves your computer. 1. Create a key pair on your computer if you don't have one. On Windows 10/11, macOS or Linux, open a terminal and run: ``` ssh-keygen -t ed25519 ``` Press Enter to accept the default location. This creates a private key (`id_ed25519`) and a public key (`id_ed25519.pub`) in your `.ssh` folder. 2. Open `id_ed25519.pub` in a text editor and copy the whole line. 3. On the panel, go to **SSH Keys**, add a new key, give it a name (for example `Home PC`) and paste the public key. Save. 4. In FileZilla or WinSCP, use the same host, port `2022` and SFTP username as usual, but choose key-file login and select your **private** key. FileZilla: Site Manager → Logon Type **Key file**. WinSCP: **Advanced → SSH → Authentication → Private key file** (WinSCP may offer to convert the key to its `.ppk` format; accept). Ed25519 keys are recommended. RSA keys must be at least 2048 bits; old DSA keys are not accepted. Delete a key from the list when you stop using that computer. Full SFTP steps: [How to connect to your server with SFTP](/docs/how-to-connect-to-your-server-with-sftp). > **Important:** > Never upload or share your **private** key (the file without `.pub`). Anyone who has it can open the SFTP of every server you can access. ## API Keys (for automation) API keys let your own scripts or tools talk to the Game Panel, for example to start a server, send a console command or read its status without opening the browser. You create a key in **API Keys**, usually with a description and an optional list of IP addresses that are allowed to use it. > **Warning:** > **Treat an API key like your password.** It can control every server your account can access. Never paste it into Discord, a public GitHub repo, a screenshot or a ticket. Limit it to your own IP if you can, and delete it straight away if it leaks or you no longer need it. Most players never need an API key. ## Activity The **Activity** section lists recent actions on your own account, such as logins, password or email changes and new keys, with the IP address and time. Check it if you think someone else has used your login. If you see something you don't recognise, change your password, turn on 2FA, delete unknown SSH and API keys, and open a ticket. For actions on one server (including sub-users), use that server's **Activity** tab instead. ## Frequently asked questions **Q: Does changing my panel email change my billing email?** No. The two accounts are separate. Change your billing email in billing under your account details (see [How to change your account details](/docs/how-to-change-your-account-details)). Keeping both the same makes logging in and password resets easier. **Q: I lost my phone and can't pass panel 2FA** Use one of your recovery codes. If you don't have them, open a ticket at [billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create](https://billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create) from your billing account and our team will help you get back in. **Q: Can I still use my password for SFTP after adding an SSH key?** Yes. Adding a key gives you a second way to log in; your panel password keeps working for SFTP.
