Password Change

[Anchutz]

In all my excitement about joining, I neglected to jot down my password which I have since forgotten in one day. The only way I saw to change it was writing down your old password to change it to a new one. Help! How do I go about changing it?
Thanks

Click on your avatar icon (next to an envelope and bell) and click on it. A menu with 'password and security' will come down, and you can change it there.

Still need to know your old password that way.

Oh I see, well how about logging out and then getting an email password reset?

That is where I went to change it, however, you need to remember your old password, the one I forgot. This is what pops up:
"For security reasons, you must verify your existing password before you may set a new password".

I'm concerned I won't be able to get back in.

I think you would just get to change your password through an emailed link.

Start up a private tab in a browser and come to the site in that tab. You won’t be logged in. Request the reset at the login page.

Email me the password you would like to use, and I'll set it for you.

Just use the contact form.
