The Password tab contains:

  • A warning message if you do not have a local password set (e.g., if you signed up via an external login provider)
  • A password change form with three fields
  • A Submit button to apply the change

FAQ​

Q: I forgot my current password. Can I change it here? A: No. If you forgot your current password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it via email.

Q: What if I signed up with Google? Do I need a local password? A: It is optional but recommended. Having a local password gives you an additional way to log in if your external provider is unavailable.
