Security is probably the biggest concern when one uses the Internet. As a place where people can anonymously send or retrieve information, anything can happen on the Internet. Today, it is common to find information theft. That is why it is advised that we do anything we can to protect ourselves.

One of the many ways to keep ourselves safe from identity theft is to change our password periodically as this can prevent unwanted people to remember our password. If you have a cPanel account, feel fortunate as changing your password can be done easily and quickly.

Before you actually change your password, there are several things you should remember to help protect you from password theft. To protect your password, you should never write it down. Instead, try to memorize it. If you write your password down, chances are someone can find and break into your account. Do not share it with others or by any chance, provide it to anyone claiming to be from vendors of a particular program or application. You should also use unrelated password for systems controlled by different organizations.

To keep your password foolproof, choose a password that you can easily memorize but are hard for others to guess. Prevent from using a name (including your own, your friend’s, your family member’s or your pet’s) or a variation of your personal or account name. Do not use easily accessible information such as your phone number, license plate number or social security number. Try to use a pass phrase or an understandable sequence of words.

To change your password, go to the “Change Password” option. It is located in the “Preferences” menu, between “Video Tutorials” and “Update Contact Info”. What it does is simply change the password of your main account. This is the password you use to access your cPanel. Probably the simplest section of the entire cPanel, changing your password can be accomplished in four easy steps:

1. Enter your current password in the “Old Password” text box.
2. Enter your desired new password in the “New Password” text box.
3. Enter the same password in the “New Password (again)” text box to verify your new password.
4. Hit the “Change your password now” button to complete the process. Your password should already be changed.

Voila! You have changed the password to your account. Try to memorize it and always remember to change it periodically, as it is easy to do so using cPanel.
