Change Email Passwords via cPanel

Strong password security is vital for protecting your cPanel-managed server. Sometimes, however, you may need to change an email password due to your security policy or a compromise – a task you can quickly accomplish right within your cPanel dashboard.

Strong password security is vital for protecting your cPanel-managed server. If you use your server for email, you’ll want to make sure your email passwords are secure and hard to guess (see Best Practice: Creating a Secure Password). Sometimes, however, you may need to change an email password due to your security policy or a compromise – a task you can quickly accomplish right within your cPanel dashboard.

  2. In the Email section, click on Email Accounts.
