# How do I log in to listmonk?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-listmonk

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "listmonk is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows. The login is `yonetici`, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen.
5. Under **Settings > SMTP**, add the mail server that sends your email. The install doesn't set this up, and newsletters can't go out without it.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to listmonk.

## Good to know

- You need an SMTP service to send newsletters. listmonk manages the lists and the sending, not the mail delivery.
- Subscribers and campaigns stay in the database on your server.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
