Question
How to access the Plesk interface in a web browser?
Answer
You can log in to the Plesk web interface using your Plesk account credentials, root or administrator password, or SSH key.
Note: A port to log in to Plesk over HTTPS must be opened in a firewall. By default, the port is 8443.
To log in to the Plesk web interface using your Plesk account credentials, do the following:
-
In the browser’s address bar, type in the Plesk login page link in the following format:
https://<Server hostname or IP address>:8443.Note: You may see an SSL warning, which means that a proper SSL certificate is not installed yet. It is safe to skip the warning this time.
- Enter your Plesk account username and password (we will use admin as an example):
- Click Log In.
As a result, you will access the Plesk web interface.
Note: If access to Plesk is disabled for the root user, you won’t be able to log in to Plesk this way.
To log in to Plesk using the Linux/Windows server root/administrator account password, do the following:
-
In the browser’s address bar, type in the Plesk login page link in the following format:
https://<Server hostname or IP address>:8443.Note: You may see an SSL warning, which means that a proper SSL certificate is not installed yet. It is safe to skip the warning this time.
- Enter root or administrator and the root/administrator password you use for connecting to the server:
- Click Log In.
As a result, you will access the Plesk web interface.
To access Plesk via SSH, you need to access the Plesk server first, and then generate a one-time login link. Here’s how to do it:
- Connect to the Plesk server using a special program called an SSH client. SSH clients may vary depending on the operating system:
-
For Linux and macOS. Use any SSH client that suits you best. You’ll need to set the specific permissions for your SSH key and place the key to the designated folder:
-
For Windows. We recommend that you use PuTTY, which is a free SSH client. If you use PuTTY, you will need to convert your SSH key to the PuTTY-specific format:
-
For Linux and macOS. Use any SSH client that suits you best. You’ll need to set the specific permissions for your SSH key and place the key to the designated folder:
-
After you’ve accessed the Plesk server, generate a one-time login link by running the following command:
# plesk login
You’ll see two links in the following formats:
https://<Server hostname>/login?secret=<session_token>https://<Server IP address>/login?secret=<session_token> -
Copy and paste one of the generated links into the browser’s address bar.
- First, use the link in the following format:
https://<Server hostname>/login?secret=<session_token>. -
If the link to the server hostname doesn’t work for any reason, use the link in the following format:
https://<Server IP address>/login?secret=<session_token>.Note: If the Plesk server is behind a NAT, the server generates only a link to a private IP address. Change the private IP address to the public one and paste it into the browser’s address bar.
Note: You may see an SSL warning, which means that a proper SSL certificate is not installed yet. It is safe to skip the warning this time.
- First, use the link in the following format:

Note: If you don't have your Plesk credentials or have forgotten them, as a Plesk administrator, contact your server hosting provider, or as any other user, contact your Plesk administrator to help you recover your credentials.

Llevo semanas intentando conectarme al enlace para inscribirme al campamento del concello de Vigo y es tecnicamente imposible, hice de todo, me creé una cuenta en Plesk, pero la plataforma sigue sin reconocer mi usuario y mi contraseña. Me he enviado cientos de veces para restablecer la contraseña y no me llega nada. Ya no se que hacer... Es desesperante.
Hello Águeda Comesaña glez,
If you have access to the server via SSH/RDP, try resetting the password for user 'admin' by following the steps from the below article or generate a one-time login link: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377862129047
That does not help me how to find my password or account
Lo hacéis más difícil y no os sale. Vaya página más complicada de acceso.
Si te registras, con un correo electrónico, pones una contraseña, y te marca como segura. Y luego a la hora de entrar, no te reconoce y te indica que pongas el nombre de usuario, que en ningún momento pusiste a la hora de inscribirte. Cómo queréis que las personas entren después. Gracias por la perdida de tiempo.
Thank you for this notice. It has helped me to recover my admin password. if it can help, the password can't include the character & when using the command line to generate it.

I was transferred here from support page: Go to Tools & Settings > Updates > Add/Remove Components > expand Webmail services. Where to find Tools & Settings? <a_kachowski@hotmail.com>
Hello Alexander Kachowski,
The ‘Tools & Settings’ is a page in the Plesk interface. You need to log in to Plesk first, and the ‘Tools & Settings’ will be seen on the left pane.
You can read more on getting started with Plesk in our documentation page:

Logging into Plesk is simple—enter your server’s IP address followed by “:8443” in a web browser, then use your admin or client credentials. Ensure secure login via HTTPS for safety and quick access to hosting management tools.

To log in to Plesk, open a web browser and navigate to
https://<your hostname or IP address>:8443. Enter your username and password, then click "Log In". If you don't have your credentials, check your welcome email from your hosting provider, as it will likely contain them.https://<Server hostname or IP address>:8443. For example,https://example.com:8443orhttps://192.0.2.1:8443.admin, but it might have been changed.I cannot login in to pleask?
Thank you for sharing.
wow this is amazing.
Logging into Plesk is simple—just enter your server’s Plesk URL, give your username and watchword, and get to the dashboard. The clean interface makes overseeing websites, databases, spaces, and facilitating settings simple indeed for tenderfoots.
I cannot find our license key and don't have a tools and settings section. I can login. where do I find this key? Ultimately, I am trying to create a subdomain but cannot figure out how to do that.
