  • Account Owners

  • Only supported using the Cerby web app

As the Owner of an account for a supported managed app, 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 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.
    ​IMPORTANT: If the Rotate password button is not displayed, it means Cerby doesn’t support this automation yet.

  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.

TIP: You can review the progress of this task in the 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.

Now you are done.
