    This thread makes no sense to me. What is the problem you have, or the question you are asking?

    Hey there WoodlandTracks

    This should be relatively easy.
    1. Open your profile by navigating to the top right of the website and clicking on your username
    2. Click on "Password" located at the bottom left of the dropdown menu that appears
    3. Enter your existing password in the top box
    4. Enter your new password in the two boxes below
    5. Click "Save Changes"
    That should do the trick, let me know if it doesn't.

    All the best,
    Jan

    Thanks for the help Jan.

    The dropdown menu does not have "Password" located at the bottom.

    Odd, it should look like this:
    upload_2023-11-7_10-3-45.png
    With Password located between "External Accounts" and the tick box for "Show Online Status"

    Alternatively you can click on your username on the top right of the forum page, which opens your profile page.
    upload_2023-11-7_10-6-29.png
    From there you can navigate to "Password" under the "Settings" section and follow the same steps from my last post.

    Hope that helps,
    Jan

    Huh, might be an admin thing then, weird.
    I'll talk to our DTL team and come back to you as soon as I can, sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thanks Jan.

    I hope the forum beta tester will be relieved from her TSCbeta duties immediately ! :)

    On my Android phone as well as my Win11 laptop it looks basically the same as for Shackamaxon.

    Hey everyone,

    DTL team just got back to me, you can change your password over at the Dovetail Live website, found here: https://live.dovetailgames.com/account/security

    You might have to log in with your DTL account first, if you aren't already.
    Under "Security & Privacy" you'll find a blue button saying "Update Password".

    Please let me know if that worked for you.

    All the best,
    Jan
