Overview

A primary email address is issued to each GreggHost account. This email provides access to the GreggHost panel, which can be found at panel.dreamhost.com.

Checking if your password has been compromised

GreggHost validates your password against haveibeenpwned’s API when you create or change it.

If your password has been discovered in the API or has been determined to be weak, the panel will advise (but not require) you to update it in order to make it more secure.

If you provide your email address, the system will send you an email with more instructions.

This link can only be used to reset your password by the primary email address associated with your account. If you want other individuals to have access to your account, you’ll need to provide each new user Account Privileges.

Option 2 — If you can log into your panel (Reset password in the panel)

Enter your current password first, then your new password at the top.
