Regularly changing your password to a random, long, hard‑to‑guess one is a critical cornerstone in keeping your web hosting account safe from those who would seek to destroy your site or steal sensitive content. It is recommended that you change your password once a month.
After logging into your cPanel account, you can change your password by clicking Change Password. This changes your administrator password, which is used to log in to your cPanel mail, FTP, and SSH accounts. Keep in mind that if you change your password, you will need to follow cPanel’s rules for a safe password:
The length of the password should be greater than 6 characters
It should not include any words found in a dictionary
It should contain at least one number
It should contain one or more non‑alphanumeric characters
It is strongly recommended that you also take the advice cPanel provides about protecting your password.
Your web host may also permit you to automatically change your cPanel...
