How can I change my email or password?

On both meta and the main site, I see no way to change account-related settings, like email and password. I assume that I gave them to you when I registered (as I can login, and have received emails), but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change (or even view) either.

Is this a good question?

Ok, so when I was complaining about the lack of gravatar usage, something in the back of my mind nagged me. Logged out and back in (complete with "page not found" errors! woo~) and discovered that I had signed up using OpenID. This is nice (I am quite glad of this, actually), but it would be nice if you told me this when I go routing around for account-changing information.

Was the identification that you're using OpenID unclear in your user profile? If so, we could make this more intuitive. Also, I'd love to know how you got those page not found errors. We've been trying to reproduce that and can't.

If you have the URL that was "not found" it would help me a lot.

go to the top right on the 100 (your reputation points), then click on the right side on the edit field - now you can change everything

See my comment on the question as to why that doesn't work for me, but I'll accept this on trust that it is applicable for those who are storing authentication details on the site.

If you logged in through OpenID we do not allow you to change your email or password (we can't!). I'll add a note on the edit profile pages that you're using OpenID.

Hi, I can't seem to find how to change my account settings. For example, I am not happy with my full name appearing on posts on this site (which also I found appear google) and would like to modify this. ??? How do I change this?
