Here you change the password for your backup account. Read the warnings on
the page first: the password is the same for all your servers.

**Requires the administrator or owner role.** Open the page with **Change
password** in the Sign-in card on the [overview](https://docs.incabus.com/en/cloud/backup/).

## This is what changes

- The password for signing in at backup.incabus.com.
- The password the backup clients on **all** your servers sign in with.
- The user name stays the same.

**The backup clients can no longer sign in** until they get the new
password. Open the backup client on each server and sign in with the new
password straight away — otherwise the backups stop.

## Have you encrypted the backups with the password?

When a backup is set up, the encryption key can be the same as the
password. **The key does not change** when the password does. Keep the old
password somewhere safe — without it you cannot reach the backups already
taken, and neither can we.

## Change it

Choose **Create one for me**, or **Choose a password** and type it twice
(at least 12 characters). The eye shows what you type. Choose **Change
password** and confirm.

If we created the password, it is shown **once**, with a button that copies
it. Save it then — it is not shown again.
