How to Change Your Email Account Password in cPanel
A secure password is crucial for protecting your email account. It should not contain dictionary words and must include a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.
Steps to Change Your Email Password
- Locate the Email Account: In your cPanel, find the email account for which you want to change the password.
- Click on Change Password: Next to the appropriate email account, click the Change Password option.
- Enter Your New Password: Type your new password into the Password box.
- Confirm Your New Password: Reenter your new password to confirm in the Password (again) box.
- Use the Password Generator: For a strong password, you can click the Password Generator link to create a secure password automatically.
- Save Changes: Finally, click Change Password to store your new password. If you decide not to change the password, click Cancel.
Importance of Regularly Updating Your Password
Regularly updating your email password is an essential practice for maintaining the security of your account. Changing your password every few months reduces the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for an added layer of security. This way, even if someone manages to obtain your password, they would still need a second form of verification to access your account.
