If you feel your password has been compromised in any way, you should log in to the application and change it immediately. (Do you need to change the password for another user? Go here to learn how)

What are the steps? |
|
1) Choose the Change Password option under your user name (in the top right corner). |
|
2) Depending on the password security settings for the subscription, you'll have one of the following options: - Auto-Generate a New Password: Simply click Save to generate a new password. When you new password appears, click Confirm. - Define your own password: Enter a new password in the fields provided and click save. Note: You can use these special characters while creating user-defined password: ( ) ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * - + = | \ { } [ ] : ; " ' < > , . ? /. |
|
3) Log in again. You'll be prompted to log back in with your new password. |
Your subscription may not allow user-defined passwords. By default, passwords are auto-generated by the service. Managers have the option to allow users in the subscription to define their own passwords by going to Users > Setup > Security and selecting the "Allow user defined passwords" check box.
You can use a captcha to strengthen the security on the password change page and the first login password change. You must validate the captcha on each password along with entering the new password.
Notes:
1. You must adhere to the strong password tips given below the captcha.
2. To enhance usability on the Qualys Cloud Platform, an eye icon has been added to password fields. This feature allows users to view their passwords, improving accuracy and reducing login errors. The icon is now available on the Qualys Guard and FO login pages, Change Password screens, and the Forgot Password workflow.
Edit your own user account and go to the Security section. Then choose and answer three secret questions. We'll use this information to help you reset your password if you forget it.
