Go to MyFlyertalk and make sure your email address is correct. Then do the password reset.

Change Email if logging in w/ Facebook / password forgotten

Hi Admins,

I log in via Facebook but I can't for the life of me remember me my old password. I only log in using Facebook so I don't ever use my email or password convo. I want to change my email as it's an email I haven't had since 2015 but I can't do it without my password.

How can I request this or verify my identity ?

Hi Redwood. I'll send you a PM. You can also change your password/email here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prof...o=editpassword

I need similar help. I had to create this handle in order to get help with my "real" account. I logged off, don't remember my password and don't remember the password to the email associated to that account. Can you send me a PM? Thanks.

We'll see what we can do for you, but without access to the email associated with the account in question, for security purposes we cannot give out information.

Changing my password

I'm guessing I'm looking right at it, but don't see a way to change my password. Help point me in the right direction?

Welcome to FlyerTalk, Wendy.

If you're on the Full Site (as in not mobile), click on MyFlyertalk on the left side near the top of the page, then when the MyFlyertalk page comes up, there should be something on the left side that says Edit Email & Password. That's the place to go.

In short, please see: https://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#usernames
  • Should you have second thoughts regarding your choice of a username, one-time changes can be arranged by contacting the Community Director.
  • Username changes are only available to members with fewer than 500 posts.
Please refer to the following thread (especially its wikipost) for detailed information: Change user name / username / handle: Can I? How?

Password Change

I have had the same PW here for 17 years LOL I need to change it. I'm prompted with an email address I used initially to enroll in FT but that email is no longer valid so I can't obviously receive the reset password link. Can you recommend what I can do to change my PW?
