No simple way to change my password?

It can be found at: click name at the top right > Change details > Passwords.

Thanks Simeon Visser, that solved my question.

Bingo! Thank you so much. I did not see the "Change details" button. I was looking on the other parts of the screen, where it listed all of my other information.

Thanks again,

How can i change my Password?

Hmm... I don't see it there anymore. Good question.

Does anyone else have an idea?

I am actually trying to figure out the same thing. Quite interesting that something so simple as changing password managed to find its way out of the page.

Same. Why is the password change field gone? I took off my contacts, took out my glass eye and polished it, replaced it, but I still don't see it.

This FAQ is related, but the link in it is broken... hmm.
FAQ #51: “I forgot my password. What should I do?”.

Just thought I should link that FAQ... is there anyone else I should notify/subscribe? (launchpad-security, launchpad-bugs, et cetera?) I don't know; I'm not too familiar with what all the proper procedures are.

Thank you for the links CF8, but that links gives:

"Lost something?

There’s no page with this address in Launchpad. If you got here from a link elsewhere on Launchpad, sorry about that. We’ve recorded the problem, and we’ll fix it as soon as we can. "

Yes, I know... I mentioned in the post (which has the link) that it's broken... hence the post right after that asking if there's anyone else I should subscribe/notify.

Maybe time for a bug report?

Nice, thank you!

@Johan Sköld and
@pvdeynse and
@Peter B P:

I think this should work for you folks, as well. I see the link on that page, but I haven't tested the functionality yet (I don't need to... ) but let us know if it's broken, or confirm if you try it and it works.

Thanks Curtis Hovey, that solved my question.

I can confirm, it works for me, have been able to change my password, thanks.

Thank you Curtis and CF8, I got my password changed.

I don't think this should be marked as "solved" as the key issue remains: there is no link or instructions within a launchpad user's pages for (a) where passwords are controlled and (b) how to change them.

Since Launchpad is becoming an OpenID RP, Launchpad will never now what your password is, how it can be changed, or where it is really mangaged. The Change details page does have a link to the FAQ, and we can update the FAQ as we learn more.

Since this change is obviously causing confusion among users, there should be a clearly-marked advisory about this in at least one's details page, near the top, explaining the situation, and where to go to change this Ubuntu SSO password.

I agree with Matt and Teemu...I had the same issue just now :-)

Agree with others that this should be explained somewhere clear besides a Question or Bug Report ;-)

On my Change details. page there is no password setting. Was this option removed?

Oh, sorry. should have waded through all the remarks on this page.

This single signon is quite annoying to me because my devious uncrackable password scheme includes the hostname in encrypted form. This scheme is baffled due to the difference between ubuntu.com and launchpad.net.

Is there a list of all hosts that use ubuntu single signon?

Ubuntu SSO only exists on two domains: login.launchpad.net and login.ubuntu.com. Every other site that uses them redirects to one of those two for authentication.

Martin, I well understand the frustration and urge to lash out at somebody or something when something so apparently simple yet import lies unresolved and untouched for so long. Calling people names isn't going to help. If anything it will do the opposite. By all means express your anger, but please be civil.

It's not there!

abdawson what is not there?

Did you visit https://login.launchpad.net/ as William suggested?

Nevertheless I think that there should be a direct *and visible* link like 'change you password' which points directly to it.
