Master Mail Account and System Account Passwords
Yes, your cPanel system account password and your master mail account password are the same. When you change your cPanel password, it also changes the password for the master/default email account since they are the same underlying system account.
Important Distinctions
- cPanel password = FTP password = master email account password (all the same)
- Individual email accounts you create in cPanel > Email Accounts have their own separate passwords that are independent of your cPanel password
- Client area password (my.ultrawebhosting.com login) is separate from your cPanel password
We recommend using different passwords for your client area login, your cPanel login, and each individual email account. This limits exposure if any one password is compromised.
