Change the password for the database

Change the password for the database user associated with an active connection. DBeaver sends the change to the database and can then update the password stored in the connection settings.

Note

The command is available when you have permission to edit the project data source, the driver supports password changes, and a username is set for the connection.

Supported databases

• CockroachDB
• Exasol
• Greenplum
• MySQL
• Netezza
• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• Redshift
• SAP HANA
• Snowflake
• SQL Server
• Vertica

Change the password

1. Connect to the database.

2. In Connections, right-click the connection and select Security -> Change user password.

   

3. Enter the new password in New Password, and enter it again in Verify Password.

   

4. Select OK. The database validates and changes the password.

5. When DBeaver asks whether to change the password in the connection settings, select Yes to save the new password with the connection. Select No to leave the saved connection credentials unchanged.

Change an expired password

DBeaver can prompt you to replace an expired password while connecting to these databases:

• DB2
• MySQL
• Oracle
• SAP HANA

Enter and verify the new password when the password change dialog opens. After the database accepts it, DBeaver updates the connection credentials and continues connecting.
