I'm currently logged in, thanks to Google saving my password, but I can't remember my password. (I'm trying to make changes to my profile and it is asking for my password.)
Where do I find the "forgotten password" link or do I have to be logged out for that to show?

I've just realised that the link to forgotten passwords is in the email I received on signing up.  :|

That might not have been quite what was muttered when I realised it.

As admins we can't see your password, only reset it for you.

Most browsers let you see your stored passwords - in chrome it is under chrome://settings/passwords (copy and paste that into the address bar)

Assuming you are running windows you will need to enter the admin password for your machine to show a stored password.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that extra info about passwords, Mr Iminei.

It was a forgotten/reset link I was initially in need of this morning but I'd not thought of checking the emails I got when I signed up.
