Changing your webmail password in Plesk is an important step to maintain email security and prevent unauthorized access. Whether you’ve forgotten your password or simply want to update it for security reasons, the process is quick and straightforward.
Step-by-Step Guide to Change Webmail Password
Step 1: Log in to Plesk
Open your browser and go to your Plesk login page (usually https://yourdomain.com:8443).
Enter your username and password for the Plesk control panel.
Click Log In.
Step 2: Locate the Email Accounts Section
In the Plesk dashboard, look for Mail in the left-hand menu.
Click Mail to view all email accounts associated with your domain.
Step 3: Select the Email Account
Find the email account whose password you want to change.
Click on the account name (or select Manage depending on your Plesk version).
Step 4: Change the Password
In the Account Settings or Mailbox Settings page, locate the Password field.
Enter your new password in the Password box.
Confirm it by typing it again in the Confirm Password box.
Tip: Use a strong password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols for better security.
Step 5: Save Changes
Click OK or Apply to save the new password.
Plesk will confirm that the password has been updated successfully.
Step 6: Update Your Email Client
If you use an email client (like Outlook, Thunderbird, or a mobile mail app), update the saved password there to continue sending and receiving emails.
Important Notes
You must have access to Plesk with permissions to manage email accounts.
If you’ve completely lost access, your hosting provider can reset the password for you.
Consider enabling SSL/TLS in your email client for secure transmission of your credentials.
Changing your webmail password in Plesk is a simple but vital security measure. Make it a habit to update your password regularly and avoid using the same password across multiple accounts.
