Answer:
This article explains how to change the password of your GHFS Hosting email account using the Plesk control panel. You can update your email password at any time for security or account recovery purposes.
1. Changing Your Email Password in Plesk
Steps:
-
Log in to your Plesk control panel
-
Click Mail from the left or top menu
-
Select the email account you want to modify
-
Click General or Edit (depending on your Plesk version)
-
Enter a new password in the Password field
-
Confirm the password by typing it again
-
Click OK or Apply to save your changes
Your email account will now use the new password immediately.
2. Password Requirements
For best security, your password should:
-
Be at least 8–12 characters long
-
Contain uppercase and lowercase letters
-
Include numbers
-
Include symbols (optional but recommended)
-
Not be similar to your domain or username
Strong passwords help prevent unauthorized access.
3. If You Forget Your Email Password
If you cannot log in because you forgot your password:
-
Log in to Plesk as the hosting account owner
-
Open Mail
-
Select the email account
-
Set a new password
No recovery email is needed because password resets are done through Plesk.

Outlook
-
Apple Mail
-
iPhone Mail
-
Android Mail
