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 a

Answer 1

Is there a way to see what this password is and/or change it?

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.

Answer 2

No it is not the same. Reason is pretty clear - security concern!

My "Azure Admin Password" is to manage all my Azure Resources. While when I publish a web site to Azure I would expect to have some other credentials, that do not have to all my azure services.

What you see there is a Deployment Credential. This is best explained in the Wiki Page for the Kudu Project. Note that Azure Web Sites run Kudu.

Answer 3

For the same solution as Kaspars Ozols presented but for the new Azure Portal you can go to the Web app in question and click the "Get publishing profile"

Answer 4

Updating thread since it is now 9/2018.

Goto Azure Portal -> Dashboard -> App Service (that you are deploying to) -> Get publish profile (in the top middle of browser)

Once you have the file downloaded, look for the userPWD arg.
