After a Bastionhost administrator adds a user for you, we recommend that you change your password on a regular basis to ensure security. This topic explains how to change your password and public key, update your personal information, and reset the time-based one-time password (TOTP) authenticator app bound to your account.
Change your password
How you change your password depends on your user type:
RAM user: Contact the Bastionhost administrator. RAM users cannot change their own passwords directly. The administrator logs in with an Alibaba Cloud account and updates your password. For details, see Change the logon password of a RAM user.
Local user: Change your password directly using one of the methods below.
Change your password as a local user
Three methods are available. Use the one that matches how you connect to Bastionhost.
The O&M portal cannot be accessed from an internal network. If Internet access is not enabled for your bastion host, use the SSH or RDP client method instead.
Using an SSH client
This example uses Xshell on Windows.
Start Xshell and connect to your Bastionhost instance. For details, see Perform SSH-based O&M.
On the asset selection page, run the following command:
:passwd
Using an RDP client
This example uses Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) on Windows.
Start Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC) and connect to your Bastionhost instance. For details, see Perform RDP-based O&M.
On the asset selection page, click Change Password.
