Siliconhouse providing free WHM and Cpanel. WHM comes with an option to determine the password strength, when creating/modifying the password for the accounts in cPanel/WHM. In this session we are going to see how How to increase the password strength in WHM available on our Dedicated Server hosting.
Uses of Password Strength Configuration in WHM :
[1] We can manage Password Strength configuration within the WHM
[2] This will help to provide protection against brute force attacks
[3] It will make easy to set strict passwords on our server
[4] This feature allows you to define minimum strengths for passwords for all of cPanel & WHM’s features that require password authentication
The system rates password strength on a scale of 0 to 100, where 100 represents a very strong password. We recommend that you set the value of Default Required Password Strength to 40 or greater.
Please follow the below steps to configure the Password Strength from WHM

[6] Or else enter a number between 0 and 100 in the text box. Because the “Default Required Password Strength” setting will propagate to any individual options that are set to “Default”
[7] If you want to configure a minimum required password strength for a specific feature, use that feature’s slider to specify its minimum password strength, or enter a number between 0 and 100 in the text box
