First sign-in
The first start with a new database creates an administrator automatically. Open the local site and use:
- Administrator email
- admin@example.com
- Initial password
- LaunchAdmin123!
- The first sign-in requires replacing the initial password with a new password of 12–128 bytes.
- After saving, sign in again with the new password before configuring the store.
- Do not expose administration publicly until the password is changed and HTTPS is confirmed.
Preserve during upgrades
Keep config.yaml, .local, the original instance master_key, MySQL data, and upload directory. Make a restorable backup before replacing the executable.
