# Network # Unifi Controller ### Local and remote accounts A local account is a combination of a username and password, and can only be used on the internal network (accessing the Unifi Controller's IP address directly.) A remote acccount consists of an email and a password, and enables one to access the network from somewhere else (say, if you are visiting your family for a week and need to do some tweaking.) One would then access the Unifi dahsboard via [https://unifi.ui.com/](https://unifi.ui.com/) It is possible for an account to be both, which is the case for our root account, **network,** which is also accessible remotely via the email account. Make sure remote accounts have 2 Step Verification enabled. At present, can generate codes either via email, or using the Google Authenticator app on the IT Admin's smartphone. # Network Cabinets
