Password strength
A green password Strength meter will show you whether you meet the minimum requirements. 0 indicates a weak password, while 100 indicates a very secure password. You can set the minimum password strength for the root user with the System/cPanel Accounts setting in WHM’s Password Strength Configuration interface (WHM » Home » Security Center » Password Strength Configuration).
We strongly recommend that you use a secure password. A secure password is not a dictionary word, and it contains the following:
- Uppercase and lowercase letters.
- Numbers.
- Symbols.
