Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves. This process is done to better protect both the user’s credentials and the resources the user can access.

Hello!
In this week’s feature highlight, we look at how to set a label on a VPS in CrownPanel.
Labeling the product is come into very handy when you have multiple products and it is an identifier for your products to easily mark and/or group together.
First, Click on the “Manage” button beside the VM you wish to Label
Next, Switch to the “Label” Tab.
Next, Click on Add Label to add the label to the VPS.
Here, you can fill in the Label Text and select the Colour you wish to use from Red/Green/Blue. Then, Click on Add Label to Confirm.
After setting a label on a VPS it will look like this,
You can remove Label by clicking the Cross mark as shown in the below screenshot.
Hello!
In this week’s feature highlight, we look at how to use Snapshots in CrownPanel.
A snapshot is a type of backup copy used to create the entire architectural instance/copy of a disk, or system. It is used in backup processes to restore the system or disk of a particular device at a specific time. A snapshot backup can also be referred to as image backup.
It’s easy to take Snapshots in our control panel.
Click on Manage beside the VPS if you wish to create the snapshot
Click on the Snapshot Tab
If your VPS is a KVM based VPS it will need to be powered off (shutdown) before the snapshot can be created.
Click on Create Snapshot to create your Snapshot
This process will take a minimum of 5 mins or more to complete depending on the size of your VPS!
The snapshot will be moved away to the backend snapshot store in the background, You can track its progress by clicking on Refresh
Once the snapshot is built, you will be presented with a UUID (Universally unique identifier), File Size, and Timestamp of Snapshot build.
You can use the UUID to specify the snapshot name if you need any help with it when contacting our support
To Naming your Snapshots, follow this instruction Click here.
The snapshot size should more or less be the same size as the VPS itself. If you feel that the size is too small compared to the data on the VPS, please feel free to contact our Support to investigate further, in many cases if there are temporary data written out to /tmp it can be a cause for this smaller sized snapshot as well.
Hello!
In this week’s feature highlight, we look at how to view the Account Authentication Log.
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a person or device. It is the mechanism of associating an incoming request with a set of identifying credentials
It important because it enables organizations to keep their networks secure by permitting only authenticated users to access their protected resources.
To Know who had accessed your account,
Login to your CrownPanel, click on the username dropdown, and select Authentication log
Here you can view a list of all the login attempts made to your account along with the IP, Login time, and its Status.
If you wish to disable the authentication log for your account, this can be done, please contact us via the client area via a Support Ticket and we will disable this for your account. Please note, once the authentication log is disabled we will not be able to find out who has logged into your account.
