The account menu lets you change your panel password, adjust a few panel preferences and choose the look of the panel.
Where to find it: click your username in the top bar.
Change your panel password
- Click your username, then Change Password.
- Type a new password in New Password, or click the key button to generate a strong one. The Encrypted menu sets the length and character types of generated passwords.
- Type the same password in Confirm New Password.
- Click Save changes.
The coloured bar under the password shows its strength. Use a long password that you do not use anywhere else.
Warning: The new password is used for the panel, the main SSH/FTP login of your account and your main MySQL user (the one named like your account, used by phpMyAdmin). If a website connects to its database with that main MySQL user, update the password in the website’s configuration file too, or the site will show a database connection error. Websites that use their own database users are not affected.
Mailbox, extra FTP account and database user passwords are separate: change them in Email Accounts, FTP Accounts and MySQL Manager.
Configurations
Click your username, then Configurations. Change the options and click Update.
