Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I change my username?
   If you'd like to change your username all you need to do is go into your Account Settings in My Homepage under the orange Personal section and change it to whatever you like - you need to be logged in to do this!
   
   
2. I have lost my password. What can I do?
   First of all, check your inbox and junkmail. Everyone that registers is sent a confirmation email with your login details (email and password). If you still can’t find it, you need to click on 'Lost password' on the top right hand corner of the screen. We'll then email you a new password, which you can keep or change to a more memorable password.
