Changing the Administrator Password of a GeminiDB Redis Instance

Scenarios

To prevent security risks, such as password cracking, you are advised to periodically change the administrator password of your GeminiDB Redis instance.

Usage Notes

• If the instance status is Available, Backing up, Checking restoration, or Scaling up, you can reset the administrator password.
• The administrator password takes effect immediately after being reset. You do not need to restart the instance.
• If you enable operation protection, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations to secure your account and cloud products. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.

Change the password during off-peak hours to prevent downtime.
