How to Change Your Email Password in cPanel

Introduction

Changing the password of an email account from cPanel is a quick and recommended process when you want to reinforce security, resolve access problems or hand over the account to another user.

Steps to change password

1. Access cPanel with your hosting information.
2. Enter the Email accounts section.
3. Find the account you want to modify and press Manage or the equivalent option.
4. Locate the password field.
5. Enter a new, secure, and hard-to-guess password.
6. Save the changes.

Useful tips

• Use a long, unique password for that account.
• Avoid reusing keys from other services.
• If the email is configured on a mobile or computer, update the password there after the change.
• If you suspect unauthorized access, also change the password for the client area or panel.

Common problems

The account is still not logged in after the change

This usually happens because the device keeps trying to connect with the old password. Update settings in all email clients.

The email program asks for the password again and again

Check that the username is the full email address and that the ports and security type are correct.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing the password delete my emails?

No. The change only modifies the account password.

Can I enter any password?

It is advisable to use a strong password. A weak password increases the risk of account theft and spam.

Conclusion

You can change your email password in cPanel in a few minutes. If you also want to improve the general security of the domain, also check webmail access and the devices that have that account configured.
