This message has not been sent with the address we have on record for
Ralf Stephan. Furthermore Ralf logged in 42 hours ago.

I need to be convinced of the identity of the poster before sending a
new password anywhere.

OK so this is the address Ralf post on sage’s mailing list even if it isn’t the one
on trac.
What happened to you that you suddenly can’t login on trac?

And sorry for being picky but being a gate keeper is part of my paid job duties.
I have to take these things very seriously for professional reasons.

For future reference for others who may find this thread, there is a dedicated place for people to ask for new Trac accounts, and that can work for resetting passwords - though François is right to point out that using the email address on file with Trac is best.

If we're at it let me add that while my browser remembered the password this doesn't help me with my incorrectly remembered password of the wiki.

Well, I am not sure how to reset password on the wiki. I thought the two
were linked. But may be you can change the passwords separately.

Also, the fact that my by browser knows the password and I can change the SSH key on trac will not help me with git trac, which needs the trac password IN CLEAR and will store it IN CLEAR on the machine. I mean if you are into security you would rather trust the password from the browser. And so does github. I don't know why I'm adapting to all this, I mean I'm usually quite good at breaking my own habits. But contrary to other persons I'm aware of how thin civilization is spread and I won't fuel disaster by starting a stupid shitstorm even if I have years of Sage development as well. But enough the rant, how do I give git trac a password I don't have?

Well, I quite often look into my browsers’ settings to recover a password in the clear.
Or do you use a special password generating software?

I didn't even think it was possible. I'm underwhelmed. Okay, that solves everything discussed. However, trying to log in at wiki.sagemath gives a server error. Just FYI. And thanks for the patience.
