• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Today, I am seeing a lot of bruteforce attack to my server, and it is ongoing/happening somemore. Hence, to take precaution, I change all the admin password... for Plesk, for OS, for apps...

After that, I realised that the Plesk control panel is dead.. with the error message that connection error to the MS SQL DB.

I am kinda panic, I thought it is finalled being hacked..

After a few ten minutes of troubleshooting, guess what I found? My admin password is too long!! When changing the plesk admin password, it can only accept 14 characters. Anything longer than that will be trancated. Sigh.. what a heart attack.

Anyway, story aside, I wish Plesk will fix this in the next update. Thanks
 
seems this still is not fixed.

not only it truncates i guess , it doesn't even set the truncated password nor it throws any any error on for client
