 Your FeministWiki password is synchronized across all services of the FeministWiki, meaning you only have to remember one password to use all functions of the FeministWiki.
-== Changing your password ==
-While logged in on the wiki, click on the '''Preferences''' link at the top right corner, to the left of the ''Log out'' link.
-[[File:Help-password-01-preferences.png|thumb|none|300px|Click on ''Preferences'']]
-In the Preferences page that opens, you will see a link with the text '''Change password''' under the first section of the page, titled ''Basic information''.
-[[File:Help-password-02-change.png|thumb|none|600px|Click on ''Change password'']]
-From there on, the instructions given on the screen should be clear.
-== Configuring an account recovery e-mail ==
-Against the case that you forget or lose your password, you can set up a recovery e-mail address.
-While logged in on the wiki, click on the '''Preferences''' link at the top right corner, as shown under the section ''Changing your password'' above.
-In the preferences page, you will see a section titled ''Email options'' with a link that reads '''Set an email address'''.  Simply follow that link and then follow the on-screen instructions the wiki gives you.
-[[File:Help-password-03-set-mail.png|thumb|none|600px|Click on ''Set an email address'']]
-Make sure '''not''' to use your FeministWiki e-mail address for this (like ''janedoe@feministwiki.org'') because you need your FeministWiki password to open that one.  Use a different e-mail address, which you can open even if you forgot your FeministWiki password.
 == Help, I forgot my password! ==
-If you forgot or lost your FeministWiki password, there are some options of recovering your account.
+If you forgot or lost your FeministWiki password, there are two ways to regain control of your account.
 === Using e-mail recovery ===
-To use the e-mail account recovery, you must have an external (non-FeministWiki) e-mail address configured in your user preferences, as explained in the previous section.
+To use the e-mail account recovery, you must have a recovery e-mail address configured in your account settings.  If you never did this, skip to the next section.
-Given that you had done this, simply visit the Login page of the wiki (click on ''Log in'' at the very top right of this wiki page) and then click on the '''Forgot your password?''' link.
+If you have a recovery e-mail address, you can reset the password of your account and have a new, randomly generated password sent to your recovery e-mail address.  To do so:
-[[File:Help-password-04-forgot.png|thumb|none|250px|Click on ''Forgot your password?'']]
+# Click the '''Reset password''' link on the left-side panel of the wiki (desktop version only) or just follow this link: https://account.feministwiki.org/reset-password.html
+# In the page that opens, enter your FeministWiki username and recovery e-mail address, click on "I'm not a bot" and wait a few seconds for the verification, then click on ''Send new password''.
-This will lead to a page asking for your username and e-mail address.  Here you have to enter your '''FeministWiki username''' and your '''recovery e-mail address''' that you had hopefully set up as described on this page.
+After you've received your new password, you can use the instructions further below on this page to change your password to one you can better remember.
-After submitting the form, you will receive an e-mail containing a temporary password with which you can log in.
+=== Contacting the technician ===
-You can use the password received via e-mail to log in normally to the wiki (but not other services of the FeministWiki).  As soon as you log in to the wiki, it will ask you for a new password.  Enter your new password twice and submit the form.  You can now use the password you configured for all FeministWiki services again.
+If you've lost your password and you had not set up a recovery e-mail, you will have to contact the FeministWiki technician and ask for a manual password reset.  Simply send an email to technician@feministwiki.org.
-=== Contacting the admin ===
+The technician may be skeptical towards your request if it isn't obvious that you're the legitimate owner of the account whose password you're trying to have reset.  In worst case, contact the member who initially added you as a member (who's hopefully a friend of yours) and tell her/him to confirm to the technician that it's really you.
-If you've lost your password and you had not set up a recovery e-mail, you will have to contact the FeministWiki technician and ask for a manual password reset.  Simply send an email to admin@feministwiki.org or by contacting [https://twitter.com/@FeministWiki @FeministWiki] on Twitter.

+You can change your FeministWiki password and/or recovery e-mail address by visiting the account settings page:
+# Click the '''Settings''' link on the left-side panel of the wiki (desktop version only) or just follow this link: https://account.feministwiki.org/settings.html
+# In the settings page, firstly fill out your FeministWiki username and current password.
+# Fill out the '''New password''' and '''Re-type new password''' fields if you want to change your password.  If you want to change your '''Recovery e-mail''', fill out that field instead.  Leave other fields blank.
+# Make sure '''not''' to use your FeministWiki e-mail address (like ''janedoe@feministwiki.org'') as your recovery e-mail address, because you need your FeministWiki password to access that one in the first place.  (Chicken and egg problem.)  Use a different e-mail address, which you can access even if you forgot your FeministWiki password.
