Changing the "Linux Questions" password


I Have used LQ for several years & lost my password on several occasions; but now I'm in a bit of a quandary.

I lost it again; got you to send me a new one (ie: 12?34* Ect) and logged-in; so far so good! Now, I'm pretty sure that, in the past, once logged-in, I was then able, at the top of the log-in page, to change my password to something more humanly memorable. This function, it seems, is no longer available & I can't work out how to change my password (to something more humanly memorable).

Hope you can help

PS. Also, there used, surely, to be a search bar at the top of the page where I might have typed "Changing the 'Linux Questions' password".

OK, this info did pop-up:
