    It looks as if the site is down openid.stackexchange. Am I the only one who is seeing problems ? Commented Jul 20, 2014 at 10:14

    Why does the passworts have to contain upper letters? From a cryptografic perspective it shrinks the possible key space! Commented Feb 23, 2015 at 19:49
  • @velop That's kind of the point, it prohibits keys that are easily brute-forced. From a cryptographic perspective all restrictions "shrink the keyspace", but that doesn't mean they should let your password be "password" Commented Feb 23, 2015 at 19:52
  • @MichaelMrozek True when I think about, it shifts the probability from one peculiarity to different ones like Password, PassWord, PaSsWoRd, so in reality it spreads the choosen passwords more equally over the shrunken keyspace. Commented Feb 25, 2015 at 10:05
  • My My Logins space only presents: Log in or sign up on any Stack Exchange site using these accounts and add more logins…. I don't see any Email type of login. I would like to change my password. Commented Jul 9, 2017 at 13:54

    For the record, I went to the SE page and found the page you specified, but the "(change password)" links by any of the IDs were not there at all. At the OpenID, the emails I use for SE are not recognized. Commented Nov 3, 2018 at 2:31

    This is the dumbest workflow I have ever seen for any website. For one of the most popular web properties this is incredibly hard to find. Why is it so hard to just change my password? Commented Feb 7, 2020 at 3:30

    @PlastyGrove Because Stack Exchange supports OpenID, so you can have multiple logins and in most cases those logins aren't controlled by SE at all, so they have nothing to do with changing your password. For an SE login, "edit profile -> my logins -> change password" doesn't seem that hard to find Commented Feb 7, 2020 at 17:18
