In one of the most recent updates for the UniFi Network, Ubiquiti moved where the SSH credentials were located. Earlier this year, Ubiquiti moved them to the Devices page in the top right hand corner but now, in 9.5.21 they have been moved again.

Where to find the SSH credentials?

To find them, first log into UniFi Network and click on Devices

In the bottom left hand corner is the new Device Updates and Settings button.

From here you can manage AP, switch and UXG updates, set the Inform Host Override and manage the SSH credentials.

With the SSH credentials you can manually update, adopt, factory reset and much more via the command line.
