How to Change an Email Account’s Password

The ability to create email accounts associated with your domain name and use them to communicate with your users is an integral part of your hosting service. It can also be an important factor in the way your online business is perceived by potential partners.

This may not always be the deciding factor, but in general, people are more likely to do business with organizations that have more branded emails than organizations that manage their official communications through Gmail. Even if you use your website for fun rather than making money, a branded address gives users confidence that their responses won’t get lost in a sea of private messages and newsletters.

However, you need to have full control over your branded email addresses. But some people think that they are too complicated to manage. Actually, it is not like that.

If you go for one of Softxaa’s managed hosting solutions, you’ll use HostPanel, an all-in-one web hosting control panel, to manage everything related to your email service. This includes creating accounts, deleting them, and changing their passwords.

How to change an email account’s password via HostPanel

Changing an email account password is easy with HostPanel. Here’s what you need to do:

Log in to HostPanel’s user interface. The default login URL is https://domain.com/hostpanel. (use your actual domain name instead of domain.com).
HostPanel Login Page
Find the account you want to modify, open the Actions menu, and select Change Password. At the bottom of the page, you’ll see a list of all existing inboxes created in your account. Next to each of them, there is an Actions drop-down menu, with a Change Password option.
Email Password Change Option
Enter the new password and save the changes. The new password must be at least 8 characters long and ideally consists of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. You can use the HostPanel password generator to set up strong passwords.
