# Change Password

The change password dialog can be invoked from the Credentials menu. This is used to change the password for the primary credentials provider (currently Kerberos 5).

For the default identity provider (Kerberos 5), there are two input boxes to specify the identity for which the password is to be changed. The identity uniquely maps to the Kerberos principal of the same name. Then the current password must be entered along with the new password twice.

Note that currently, when the password for an identity is being changed, only the associated Kerberos 5 password is changed.
