=== Purpose ===

Allows a player to change their password.

=== Syntax ===

To change your password:

 . ''{{{@password <old-password>=<new-password> }}}''

=== Parameters ===

''{{{<old-password>}}}'' 

 . The player's current password they use for their account. 

''{{{<new-password>}}}'' 

 . The new password the player would like to set on their account.

=== Examples ===

__Example 1__

If Alkani wanted to change his existing password, "abc1234" to "def5678" he would type:

 . {{{ @password abc1234=def5678 }}}

If Alkani typed his old password correctly, he would see:

 . {{{ "Password changed." }}}

If he did not, he would instead see:

 . {{{ "Sorry, old password did not match current password." }}}


=== Caveats ===

Passwords for user accounts on the SpinDizzy MUCK System may not have spaces.

Wizards may change player passwords using the [[Commands/BuiltIn/at-newpassword|@newpassword]] command.
