 * I’m on version 4.3.1. I want to change my admin password, but it seems the only
   option is to generate a password, rather than choose one for myself. Is that 
   right? Am I looking in the wrong place? (My profile, bottom of the page.) It 
   seems there has to be a way for me to change my own password. Any help would 
   be appreciated.
 * Also, what does it mean “Sessons: “Log out everywhere else”. I have several blogs,
   plus the forum here … ? Sometimes these programs try to make things so simple
   for people they end up making it worse.

 * You’re in the right place. Generate a new password, then click into the text 
   field to edit or change the generated password, and finally save. 🙂
 * The sessions option allows you to immediately log out any connected apps or other
   browser sessions where you may have checked “Remember Me,” thus requiring the
   new password everywhere.

 * Thanks so much, James.
 * I didn’t want to hit ‘generate’ without knowing if I could change it after. Seems
   a bit awkward and backwards, but at least I know.
 * Thank you. Have a great day. 🙂
