# Change Redis user password

One user is automatically created for each cluster.

The user password is required for [connecting to Redis](/managed-databases/redis/connect-to-cluster.mdx). The password is set when creating a cluster and can be changed after creation.

1. In the [Control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/dbaas/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Managed Databases**.

2. Open the **Active** tab.

3. Open the cluster page → **Settings** tab.

4. In the **User password** block, click **Change**.

5. Enter a new password or click **Generate**. The password must contain:

   * 32 to 64 characters;
   * uppercase and lowercase Latin letters;
   * digits;
   * special characters.

6. Copy and save the user password—it cannot be viewed in the Control panel after saving.

7. Click **Save**.

8. Update the password in your application.
