# Setting a Password

As account registration is done with Discord, you will not be able to generate a password at first. For most people, this is not needed, but if you would like to [manage your server files through SFTP](https://fps.ms/docs/getting-started/uploading-files.md),  a password is required.

## How to set a password
Luckily, you can set a password easily with the steps shown below.

1. Logout from the panel
2. Instead of logging in with Discord, press **Forgot your password?** below the password field of the log-in screen.
3. Fill in your e-mail address that you registered on Discord with.
4. You will receive an e-mail within 5 minutes to reset your password.
5. Click on the button in the e-mail and set a password in the panel.

When you are done setting a password, it wouldn't hurt to also enable Two-step Verification to secure your account. This ensures your account is at the safest possible level.
