How do you change password?

in one where it has not I try what I have previously noted as the correct password but it rejects it.... :(
...
And where does it tell me that on this forum in my settings/profile? Or am I just supposed to guess? ;-)
When you try to log into the forum you get the Qt Account login page which says, "Use your Qt Account credentials to sign-in to all Qt services, including Qt Bugreports, Codereview, Forums & Wiki, and The Qt Company Support Center" and it also gives you a "Forgot password?" link.

Yes, a link somewhere in forums settings would help. @AndyS this /\ might be of interest to you :-)

I agree it should be clearer somewhere on the profile page. I'll see if I can make it more visible once I am back from vacation :)

It clearly isn't any more obvious to me now than it was then. I was wondering: are you back from vacation yet? So that you might make it so we could divine this from the profile page? ;-)

It is on the profile page, a direct link (after you are logged in is): https://login.qt.io/change?redirect_uri=https://account.qt.io/profile

Hi Andy, nice to see you have returned from that vacation ;-)I'm a little lost. Yes, I can see what you mean, that is where I just changed my password from. However, what I meant is: starting here from https://forum.qt.io/, and thinking to myself I need to change my password, I cannot see anywhere that guides/points me from here to there. I do not recall that I need to go to https://login.qt.io to do so. Perhaps it is my unreasonable expectations.

@JonB It is a unified account, so the only way to change it is via Qt Account as that is the same login/password used for the forum.

I (now) realise this, but I will forget it again in a while....I'm not asking you to provide a way to change a password, just to tell me what I need to do. I haven't seen the qt io login page for years, probably because my password is remembered and I am logged in directly on the forum.
Perhaps just a sticky post at the top of this sub-forum, https://forum.qt.io/category/5/qt-io-webservices, "How to change your password/delete account instruction" would do it? As it was, the only way I found was searching and coming across my own post here from a year ago (which of course I had completely forgotten about!)?

I can add a sticky at least, the link I gave you should go direct to the page after logging in at least, if that did not work then let me know.
