# PAM password rotation policies

Devolutions Cloud boasts versatile password rotation policies for PAM vaults, easily accessed by clicking the ellipsis button next to a vault's name, then going to ***General*** – ***PAM password rotation policy***.

These can be applied to many vault and entries, allowing for simple password rotation management.
