Nexcess Account Security

Account security in the my.nexcess.com Portal refers to the global settings and practices used to protect access to your entire portfolio of Nexcess Flex Plans, Managed WordPress sites, Managed WooCommerce stores, or Managed Magento stores. Securing your main portal account is the most critical step in safeguarding all the applications within it, as it serves as the master key to your hosting environment.

This level of security is not about individual website firewalls or malware scans, but about controlling authentication and access for your administrative team. Key functions include managing who has access to the portal, enforcing the use of secure SSH keys for command-line access instead of passwords, and enabling two-factor authentication on the primary account login.
