You may want to update your Plesk password if: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- You\u2019ve\u00a0<\/strong>shared access<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with a developer or third party\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You suspect your login details may be compromised\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019re\u00a0doing routine security maintenance\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019re\u00a0unable to log in and want a fresh reset\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why this matters: <\/strong>Your Plesk password protects your websites, databases, and email settings, and unauthorised access<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>to your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips for Choosing a Strong Password for Plesk<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A\u00a0<\/strong>strong password<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>helps\u00a0prevent\u00a0unauthorised\u00a0access to your hosting environment and\u00a0reduces\u00a0the risk of hacking, data loss, and downtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend that your password: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Avoids\u00a0dictionary words or personal details<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Includes\u00a0at least one symbol<\/strong>\u00a0(#\u00a0$ !\u00a0% &)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Uses\u00a0upper and lowercase letters<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You may also use a password generator for added security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Changes After Updating Your Plesk Password?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Updating saved passwords prevents login errors later; however, it is important to remember the following changes that take place once you update your password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Your old Plesk password will no longer work\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You may need to update saved credentials in:\u00a0\n
- \n
- Browsers\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- FTP clients\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Website management tools\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
