If you have an existing user account on a VSC system you can view information about your account, inspect usage statistics, and change your password (please allow for about 10 minutes for synchronization of your password change) at:

https://service.vsc.ac.at/clusteruser/login

The user accounts associated to a project are valid during the runtime of the project (resources can be used until one month after project termination, the user's filesystem can be accessed until three month later).

The project manager can request an extension of all resources of the project at any time if necessary.

Only IP addresses from one of the VSC partner universities are allowed to login to VSC. If you wish to log in from outside a university IP range, use either a VPN or a SSH tunnel to connect (details).

On the VSC Wiki information about the proper setup and usage of ssh-key can be found.

Please note that on all VSC sytems a two-factor authentication is enforced. After entering your password you will be asked to enter your one-time password (OTP), which is an SMS token to be received on your mobile phone.
