# Rotate an account password automatically

This article describes how to automatically rotate an account password for supported apps using the Cerby web app.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, **Admins**, and **Users**
* Account **Owners**
* Only supported using the Cerby web app
  {% endhint %}

As the **Owner** of an account for a supported [managed app](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/credential-management/accounts#h-f0a859b407), you can rotate its password automatically, ensuring your credentials remain secure without manual intervention.

This is a one-click experience in the Cerby web app, where Cerby runs the automated password rotation server-side and provides a password as robust as possible given the underlying recommendations of your app.

To rotate an account password automatically using the Cerby web app, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace.
2. Click the corresponding account card. The account details page is displayed with the **General** tab activated.
3. Hover the mouse over the **Current password** field. Multiple icons and the **Rotate password** button are displayed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT:** If the **Rotate password** button is not displayed, it means Cerby doesn’t support this automation yet.
{% endhint %}

4. Click the **Rotate password** button. The **Rotate Password** dialog box is displayed.
5. Click the **Rotate Password** button. The dialog box closes, a status message box is displayed, and Cerby runs the automated password rotation.

{% hint style="success" %}
**TIP:** You can review the progress of this task in the [**Automation Log**](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/audit-and-activity/automation-log) by selecting the **Automation Log** option from the left menu in the Cerby web app dashboard and looking for the corresponding automation job.
{% endhint %}

Now you are done.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/cerby-web-app/accounts/protecting-your-accounts/rotate-an-account-password-automatically.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
