The following ways are supported to log in to your instances. Please keep your password safe.

## System-generated Root Password

A system-generated root password will be emailed to you after the instance is provisioned. You can use the password to log in.&#x20;

You are recommended to change the system-generated root password as soon as you have logged in to your instance for security reasons.

## SSH Keys

Place your public key on your instance to access it securely. Your public key is typically located at `/.ssh/id_rsa.pub` and begins with `ssh-rsa`. You must securely store the private key and ensure its confidentiality. Be careful not to use your private key.

## Set up Own Password

Choose your own password between 8 to 16 characters, containing at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number, and one special character.
