These are some of the more common questions about logging in to the website.
Go to https://www.patriotguard.org/profile and select the Password tab. You will be prompted for an email address (or username), and a link to change your password will be sent to you.
The passwords the system sends are randomly generated, and yeah, sometimes they’re a little cryptic.
However, it’s pretty easy to change to something easier. Log in using either your email address or your username along with the new password (they’re case sensitive). Once you’re logged in, select the Members menu option, then Update Profile. From there, you can change your password, change information in your profile, or upload/change a photo for your profile.
But… you can’t do all three at once. The profile page is divided into three entry sections (and one help section). Each entry section has their own button to save. Complete only one section and save it before moving on to any of the others.
The short answer is we couldn’t copy them over. The quick solution is request a password reset. Click on the Login/Join option in the top right menu. When the login screen comes up, select the Forgot Password option.
And now the longer explanation. The change to our new website involved a platform change (we moved from vBulletin to WordPress). Both the old platform and the new used encrypted passwords, which meant we couldn’t transfer those to the new system. If all else fails, you can email the account team at accounts@patriotguard.org and they will help you out.
