There is no link on the login page saying: "Forgot Your Password?"

Re: No Forgot Password

If you forgot your password, why don't you just make a new one? On your "My Stuff" page, there's a little thing that you can click to change your password.

I also think you have to have the old password to change it.

How can there be one of those pages? Scratch doesn't really know our emails.

Re: No Forgot Password

If you ever click http://scratch.mit.edu/contact/us   you have to give them your email so then they would know. i doubt they keep track of whos is whos though.

Re: No Forgot Password

Although, there is a "password question" where it aks's you to answer the question and if you get it right they will give you your password right?

Re: No Forgot Password

I dont actully think they KNOW the password, but i think the computer saves it in a large file (has everyones) and they could probably check that file for yours.

Re: No Forgot Password

We do not explicitly collect e-mails of people under 13 because that would require parent's signed permission.

Re: No Forgot Password

What if the security question is:
"What is your password?"

Re: No Forgot Password

*bump*

Let's say i forgot my password. I don't want to make another one because I have everything on my old account. We should have a forgotten password link.

Then anyone would know your password!
If I said I was you, they would change your pass so I could get on it.

Re: No Forgot Password

We only change password and send them to the email address used during the creation of the account. If there is no email address other ways of confirming the identity are needed.
