Keeping your mailbox secure starts with a strong password. You can **change your email password** in three places, depending on where it’s easiest for you: your JetHost Client Area, cPanel, or webmail. This guide covers all three.

## From your Client Area

1. Log in to your [JetHost Client Area](https://jethost.com/app/index.php?rp=/login).
2. Open **Email Accounts** and find the address you want.
3. Click **Manage** and you'll be redirected to cPanel, where you can change the password.

1. Log in to cPanel and open **Email Accounts**.
2. Next to the address, click **Manage**.
3. Under **Security**, enter a new password (or use the generator) and click **Update Email Settings**.

2. Open **Password & Security**.
3. Enter the new password twice and click **Save**.

In each case, the change is instant. However, if you read this mailbox in a phone or desktop app, remember to update the saved password there too – otherwise it will stop connecting and keep prompting you.

## Choose a strong password

Whichever method you use, make the new password long and unique. First, aim for at least 12 characters, mixing upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols. Second, don’t reuse it on other sites. Finally, a password manager makes this effortless and remembers it for you, so you can use a different strong password for every account.

## If you’ve forgotten the password

If you cannot log in to webmail at all, don’t worry. Instead, use the Client Area or cPanel method above to set a new password – you do not need the old one. Importantly, this only changes the login; your existing emails are untouched.

## JetHost Experts Tip

Note that the mailbox password is separate from your Client Area login password. Changing one does not change the other – and if you suspect a breach, change the mailbox password first, then check your Forwarders and Filters for anything you did not set.
