= Changing your password =

There are two kinds of passwords in !BitlBee:

 * The identify password. The one you once set using the `register` password, and now always use with the `identify` command to load all your accounts and settings.
 * Account passwords, the password(s) to your IM account(s).

In both cases, the password is just a setting. But for security reasons, the setting is write-only. This means that you can change it, but when you try it, !BitlBee will always say the setting is empty/unset.

== Changing the identify password ==

{{{#!irc
20:56:51 <wilmer> set password newpassword
20:56:51 <root> Setting changed successfully
}}}

== Changing account passwords ==

If you changed the password of your IM account (via the provider's website, using their native client, or however), you can change the password in your !BitlBee configs so you can connect to the account again like this. Assuming you changed the password of your first account:

{{{#!irc
20:56:56 <wilmer> account 0 set password newpassword
20:56:56 <root> Setting changed successfully
}}}
