Changing Passwords

June 20, 2005 4:57 PM

Seems like this was addressed as a future To-Do item last november, but is there any way to change one's password right now or in the near fuure?

I would love this feature, if it's not too difficult to create. Upon reflection "jonson" was an obvious password, and now I feel foolish, looking back at some of the horrendous things random strangers have posted under this account.

After the login incident all accounts with name=password have been disabled I think. Apart from that, 9/10 for effort though.

Hey, johnson is not your password!

Umm, or jonson.

uh oh... jonson ISN'T my password? Crap, I better never log out. So far (3 years & counting) so good.

I just want you to know that I've posted only high-minded and worthy contributions under your name. Well, except for that time I had you call one of the most respected members of MeFi a 'vicious, turd-eating guttersnipe.' Boy, I'll bet your face was red!

I remember that, but I think you said a "viscous" turd-eating guttersnipe. It made me loose all respect for jonson.

Yeah. "Loose and runny turd-eating guttersnipe" would have been a much more effective insult.
