Have a user who has asked the following question, and I don't know enough about the system to be able to provide an adequate answer. Does he have a distinct boards account that can be accessed separate from the social media log in? Thanks

Now I created this boards.ie account via a social network account and I dont have a password for Boards. how do I make a password for boards if my account was made by a social media account?

Does he have a distinct boards account that can be accessed separate from the social media log in?

Thanks

Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

Ah. If he logs out and uses the change password facility he will be able to set a new password.

Thanks for that, the thread is moot now as the user has gone away, permanently, so I don't need to provide an answer to this
