    Default User managed Passwords on Email accounts

    Good Day,
    I'm using cpanel to manage a client's website and mail. The client wants me to set-up email accounts for 32 employees. Is there a way for me to have the end user manage their own passwords.

    What I see happening is that I set up the account with a generic password that will need to be changed within 10days and that they change themselves through some limited access or plugin to cpanel. I can sense a huge liability issue if I hand out and therefore know every PW for every email account.

    TIA for any help.

    All email users can login to the webmail interface and click on "Change Password" to change their password. However, if you are looking for a method to enforce password changes in x days, cPanel/WHM does not support this at this time.
