  • 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.

Resolved Is it safe to change password length long on SSH/Root?

Hajime Tanaka

Regular Pleskian
Is it safe to change a password for generator characters longer than 100x or 50x length on root + SSH?

Can we put change length type there,
Code:
Password Length: 50 - 100x
Include Symbols: ( e.g. @#$% )
Include Numbers: ( e.g. 123456 )
Include Lowercase Characters: ( e.g. abcdefgh )
Include Uppercase Characters: ( e.g. ABCDEFGH )
Exclude Similar Characters: ( e.g. i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O )
Exclude Ambiguous Characters: ( { } [ ] ( ) / \ ' " ` ~ , ; : . < > )
Generate On Your Device: ( do NOT send across the Internet )

You can generate a password directly via ssh with the command :
Code:
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null | base64 -w 0 | rev | cut -b 2- | rev
But it will be more secure to disable password authentication via ssh, and to use ssh-keys, and to use another port than 22 to avoid bruteforce

I have ask question.

Can I change password root to like here,
Code:
jMu^9&vkKZKXncWb___hg9GdqC7n_esX9zej$wAXEvb*sdn6vj

We just don't use that. It's generator password. If this will work to root login from Plesk and SSH?

Hello,
yes, you can set this password for root, and you will be able to login with this password.
But it's better to disable Plesk login with root . You can disable it with the panel.ini editor extension :
