How do I update my SSH Password?

Wordify sites use a per-site SSH/SFTP password, and you can also log in with an SSH key. Here's how to view and rotate the password.

Each site has its own SSH and SFTP username and password. You can also log in with an SSH key instead: add yours once in Settings › SSH Keys and choose which sites it goes to. See Managing SSH keys in the Console. This article covers viewing and rotating the password.

Where to find your credentials

Open your site in the Console, then under Hosting select SSH / SFTP. The page shows the host, port, username, password, and path for that site. See Connecting over SSH and SFTP for a full walkthrough.

Updating your credentials

If you want to replace the credential your site uses, for example after a leak or when someone leaves your team, rotate the SSH/SFTP password. On the SSH / SFTP page, click Rotate password at the top right of the card, then confirm.

A new password is generated and takes effect immediately. The old password stops working straight away, so update any saved connections, scripts, or automations that use it. Rotating affects that one site only. Your other sites and your Console login are unchanged.

Rotating the password doesn't remove SSH keys. When someone leaves your team, remove them from the team in the Console and their Console keys come off your sites automatically. Remove any keys added by hand from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys as well.

What about my Console account password?

Your Console login is separate from your sites' SSH/SFTP credentials, and changing one never changes the other. To change your Console password, see Changing your password.
