Please can I change my password if I want to?
Some days ago I was logged out and I found it difficult to login again, that is why I am asking. I have seen read some stories whereby some users have been hacked and I really want to change my password so I will not be hacked.

Click PROFILE, then Account Related Settings.

After you click on account related settings, you will see choose password and verify password which are what you need to change your current password.

After you have choosen password and verify it by writing it again, scroll down and you will see current password, write you currenct password and click on change profile.

One thing I would advise you is to stake a bitcoin address so that you can claim ownership whenever your account get compromised. You can learn how to do that here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0).

Follow this link to read on guides about the forum account security guides (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4920096.0) and also how to dictate if your account is been hacked.

Yes op, you can change you password as it is always advisable to use a strong password. If you feel a need or become security nervous you just have to reach for your profile and account related setting.https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/09/14/66jrJ.png
After you are done imputing the new password you have to write in the old password and click on the change profile button below.

Here's a link on how to go about some profile security settings and how to recover your account.

It is very easy change password if you know your old password but if you forget your old password then you have to reset your password via Email.

For change password you have to go on account released service first. then you will get the password changing option. follow the screenshot to understand very easily

OP, I noticed in the Security log (https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php) that you've already changed your password. I recommend locking this topic now.

I'm waiting for 5 more users to say the exact same thing. Maybe someone can add a video tutorial?

Seriously, if someone needs screenshots instead of reading for himself, he shouldn't even be on a forum.
