# How do I log in to n8n?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-n8n

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "n8n is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app** or the link in the **Site address** row.
4. Log in with the details from the **Email** and **Password** rows. There is no setup screen, because the owner account already exists.

## The rows in your panel

| Row | What it is for |
| --- | --- |
| Site address | Your n8n address. Webhook URLs start with it too. |
| Email and Password | The login for your owner account |

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to n8n.

## What the install sets up

- The owner account is created before n8n opens to the outside, so nobody else can claim your server.
- The time zone is Istanbul, and n8n's usage reporting is turned off.
- Your workflows and saved credentials stay on your server, in n8n's own data area.
- 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://` on your IP address instead.
- Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

## After your first login

1. Change your email address and password in n8n's personal settings. The install uses a placeholder email. The panel keeps showing the original details, so save the new ones yourself.
2. Set up n8n's email settings so invitations and password resets can go out. The install doesn't do this.
3. Your saved credentials are encrypted with a key in `/opt/seturack/n8n/.env`. If you ever move the server, take that file with you.

To use your own domain, see [this article](https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-connect-your-own-domain). When the address changes, your webhook URLs change too.
