First-time login to the console

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at March 5, 2026

If invited to a Yandex Cloud organization, accept the invitation and proceed to your first-time login to the management console. The login procedure depends on your account type.

Yandex account users
Local users
Federated users

To log in to the management console with a Yandex account:

  1. Open the invitation email.

  2. In the email, click Accept invitation.

  3. On the page that opens, click Accept.

  4. Select a Yandex account to log in or log in to an existing account.

  5. Navigate to the management console.

  6. If your organization has a mandatory two-factor authentication policy in place, you will be prompted to set up a second factor. Select the login authentication method available to you:

    Note

    The 2FA setup period is limited. Once it expires, access to the console will be blocked and can only be restored by the organization administrator. For more information, see Troubleshooting.

    Authenticator app
    Security key
    Biometrics
    1. Select Authenticator app.

    2. Use an application or service to generate one-time codes, for example:

      • Yandex ID
      • Google Authenticator
      • Microsoft Authenticator
      • Multifactor
    3. Open the app and scan the QR code displayed on the screen.

    4. Enter the code from the app in the Confirmation code field.

    5. Click Confirm.

    1. Select Security key.
    2. Plug in a hardware security key, e.g., Rutoken or JaCarta, to your computer.

    2. Follow the prompts in your browser to set up biometric authentication.

Once you have successfully set up your second factor, you will be redirected to the management console.

Local users are created by the administrator in the organization's user pool. When creating an account, the administrator sets a login and temporary password, which are then shared with the user. You must change your password on your first login.

To log in to the management console for the first time:

  1. Go to the management console page.

  2. Enter the login and temporary password you got from the organization administrator.

  3. You will be prompted to change the password:

    1. Enter your new password twice.
    2. Click Save password.
