Additional Information

After Resetting Email Password In cPanel

Once you have reset the email password, if necessary, inform the user of the change so they can update it on their email apps or devices. Changing the password will log the user out of any active sessions, helping secure accounts that may have been compromised. If the user is locked out of their email client, they can still access their email via Webmail after the reset, using the new password.

Additionally, if you manage multiple domains, ensure you’re editing the correct email account linked to the right domain.

Resetting the password does not affect saved emails or settings, but the new password must be updated in any email client or app (like Outlook or Apple Mail).

Tips for Email Security

• To enhance email security, use a strong password – at least 12 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Avoid reusing old or weak passwords, especially for business or admin email accounts.
• The Generate feature included in cPanel creates highly secure passwords, which can be copied and saved in a password manager.
• Consider setting up 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) on cPanel for added control and account protection.
• Need to enforce stronger password policies? This can be configured server-wide via WHM (for advanced users or resellers).
• Domains.co.za’s Support Team can assist if you encounter issues or forget your cPanel login details.
