[bitfolk] Disabling password auth for Xen Shell

Hi, There's a long-standing request to implement a way for customers to disable password authentication on their Xen Shell SSH accounts (i.e. ssh username(a)username.console.bitfolk.com): https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/116 This has now been implemented¹, so if you go to: https://panel.bitfolk.com/account/security/#toc-allow-xen-shell-ssh-access-… you can set that if you wish. You will first need to have added at least one SSH public key, as that is the only way you'll be able to log in to the Xen Shell after that. I don't anticipate many people using this or it changing frequently, so I haven't bothered to implement immediate update of our SSH config. Instead you might have to wait up to 30 minutes for the sshd_config on the host machine to actually be updated. The other already existing way to further secure your Xen Shell login is to use 2 factor authentication, as described on the same page. Enabling that will require you to supply a code from a TOTP app such as Google Authenticator, 1Password, etc. Cheers, Andy ¹ 11 days short of 5 years since it was requested, woohoo! -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce(a)lists.bitfolk.com https://lists.bitfolk.com/mailman/listinfo/announce
