After successful authentication, click the \u201cLog In\u201d or \u201cSign In\u201d button to access the Plesk control panel. This method is particularly useful when a domain name is not yet configured or for those who prefer using an IP address for direct access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accessing-plesk-control-panel-via-plesk-mobile-app\">Accessing Plesk Control Panel via Plesk Mobile App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For users on the go, the Plesk Mobile app provides a convenient way to access the control panel from your smartphone or tablet.
