How do I change my password in cPanel?

It is often advisable to change your password regularly. It is advisable to use a different password for each system that you manage through different suppliers. It is not advisable to give out your login and password unless you are certain of the person's identity.

To generate a complex password, you can use the password generator on your cPanel interface. You can use the generator to choose the complexity of your password.

cPanel has certain constraints regarding passwords:

• The password must be sufficiently secure to be accepted by the system. It must contain at least 8 to 10 characters and be made up of upper case, lower case and numbers.
• Your password must not contain your cPanel ID.

To prevent your cPanel web hosting account from being hacked, we advise you not to use your date of birth, telephone number or any other information that can easily be found.

Please note that if you change your password directly on your cPanel space, the automatic connection to this interface via your LWS customer space will no longer work.

Click on the " Password and Security " menu.

2. Enter the password you are currently using, then the new one.

For greater security, your password must contain more than 8 characters, including letters, numbers, capitals and symbols.
