How to Change Your Email Password using Roundcube Webmail

The easiest and safest way to update or change your email password is through Roundcube Webmail. Roundcube is the Webmail utility you access your email with using a laptop or desktop computer.

You could change your email password using cPanel. Unlike cPanel, which includes advanced server management tools, Roundcube focuses on email functionality. So, managing your email preferences including out-of-office responders, redirects, etc. reduces the risk of accidental changes to your other web server settings while still giving you full control over your account credentials.

Password security

It is good practice to change email passwords occasionally. Sometimes, ComStat may ask you to change passwords if we suspect that a third party has compromised your account. If you have forgotten your password, we can force a password change.

Users are responsible for their passwords at all times. If we force a password change, users should log in to their email accounts and overwrite forced password changes with passwords of their own. Good passwords include:

  • 8-15 characters
  • Capital letters
  • Numbers
  • Special characters

Email passwords cannot be changed using your desktop version of Outlook. To change your email account password, login to your Office 365 online control panel with your email address and existing password with a web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome.
