I would like to update my password for the Halfbakery to a stronger one. There should be a way of doing this????

On my profile page, there's a box for "password" - if I change
this, does it not change my password? |
|
|
//if I change this, does it not change my password?// Yes, but [xenzag] doesn't want to change *your* password |
|
|
Ah yes, that would be so. |
|
|
On your profile page there is a box for "password" but the only password you can enter there is the one you currently use, otherwise anyone could log in to your account, so the question remains: how do you change your password? |
|
|
If I go to your profile page I don't see the 'password' box - only you see that. |

Not IME. I changed my password using that box a few months ago,
shortly after the site came back up and I saw it supported HTTPS
now, meaning it was worth having a new password to avoid
impersonation (even though I presume passwords are still stored
unhashed, but I think I've never used the same password here as
elsewhere so that's neither here nor there). I do recall a little bit
of weirdness in how it operated, but I think that was just because
of one or another of my 49* browser extensions. |

|
*I counted just now; it may have been a different number back
then. |
|
|
Yes, I just changed my password using that password box. |
|
|
What did you change it to? |
|
|
I changed it to "password". |
|
|
If I'm understanding this correctly, on my profile
page,
where the password box is with a row of asterix
symbols, I can type in anything and that will be
saved as my new password? I just don't want to get
shut out by doing something stupid. |
|
|
Oh, just send it to me, along with any credit
cards numbers you have to hand. |
|
|
// I can type in anything and that will be saved as my new

|
|
Ok - thanks. That's clear enough. |
