How to modify the password of WordPress?

Updated this week

Do you want to know how to change your WordPress password? In this guide, we show you in simple steps how to change your WordPress login password.

It is recommended to change the passwords of your applications, especially for the WordPress CMS, as it is the first line of defense against hacking attempts and website breaches.

Many times, users end up using a weak password, simply because it is easier and more convenient to remember. In general, this method is not recommended, as it puts the security of your website at risk.

To do this, you can use one of the many free and secure password managers available on the market.

Sometimes it can be tempting to share our WordPress passwords with team members, or even with developers or writers that we have hired. From Sered, the advice we give is to never engage in these practices.

Instead, we recommend creating a new user account with the correct user role, so that you can manage permissions.

This way, we can easily delete the account when they are no longer part of our team without having to change the main password.

How to change your password in WordPress?

You can change your WordPress password directly from the Toolkit in the cPanel control panel.

To do this, when you have chosen the domain name associated with the application, click on the "Reset Pass" button. Then, select the username, add the new password and click on "Continue". You can then access with your new password.
