• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hello, is there a system in Plesk Panel that obliges users to change their passwords such as e-mail, panel?
 
There is not forced password change in Plesk. If you believe that this would be an important feature, please vote for any of these feature requests:
If you would like to see a forced password update term for the panel login, please create a new feature request. However, I remember that research has shown that such forced password updates are useless in terms of security. Don't remember the source though.
 
Thank you for your support Peter, the topic you mentioned is important I will keep in mind. If there is the situation you mentioned, it would be appropriate to increase the difficulty of the password instead of renewing the password. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In my opinion, in the case of a continuous attack, part of the password will be decrypted in a certain time.
 
You are right that it is easy to decrypt passwords today, even longer onces, because a lot of computing power is available from some graphics adapters. But when you have Fail2Ban activated in Plesk, this will stop attackers after very few attempts (configurable), so there is no way that brute-forcing can succeed against a Plesk panel.
