ability to change it isn't of much value to me.

Currently you *can* login "ONCE" by selecting "never log me out" (or something
similar, I don't remember the exact wording).  I logged in once at home, and
have never re-entered my passwd.  When I come back and dial up, opena  browser,
and go to Lugnet, I'm still logged in.

I will admit that here at work I'm not logged in because I haven't bothered to
jot down my passwd and bring it in, though.

IMHO, the ability to change your passwd would be nice, but I'd rather see
wholly new features like article rating than that particular improvement on an
existing feature.
