Web Publish password not the same as my Azure admin password?

Question

For whatever reason when I published my server for the first time to Azure some really long password was generated for me that for whatever reason I didn't think would be an issue.

Apparently, I need this to publish to my server.

It does not match my Azure server admin password which I can easily change from the management portal. Is there a way to see what this password is and/or change it?

Answer 1

Click the link in  Azure portal -> Your Website -> Dashboard -> Quick glance -> Download the publish profile.

Download the file and your publishing password should be there in plain text in form  userPWD="7vasdfa....".

If you want to reset that you can click the link  :  Azure portal -> Your Website -> Dashboard -> Quick glance -> Reset your publish profile credentials.
