How to Change Password Strength in WHM?
How to Change Password Strength in WHM?
We can manage Password Strength configuration within the WHM. It will make easy to set strict passwords on our server. This feature allows you to define minimum strengths for passwords for all of cPanel & WHM’s features that require password authentication. The system rates password strength on a scale of 0 to 100, where 100 represents a very strong password. We recommend that you set the value of Default Required Password Strength to 40 or greater. Please follow the below steps to configure the Password Strength from WHM.
1) Login to your WHM.
2) Select the “Security Center” option from the page.
3) Choose the option “Password Strength Configuration”.
4) In this page, you will see some sliders which are used to change the password strength. If you want to set the default Password Strength, then choose the slider beside the option “Default Required Password Strength” to specify its minimum password strength, or enter a number between 0 and 100 in the text box. Because the “Default Required Password Strength” setting will propagate to any individual options that are set to “Default”.
5) If you want to configure a minimum required password strength for a specific feature, use that feature’s slider to specify its minimum password strength, or enter a number between 0 and 100 in the text box.
Here, we are changing the password strength for “Account Creation” (which is applicable to all new cPanel accounts) to 70.
6) Click the “Save” button to save the changes.
