Title: I got phished. How can I change my password?

I've looked all over for FAQs etc. but none of them tell me how to actually change my password/pin. :\

Hi dumbnoob,

The answers to these are in the very first section of the F.A.Q. on the SR Wiki.. ???

Please see the SR Wiki entries here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_forgot_my_passphrase.
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=PIN

You will also need to read the following:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/wiki/index.php?title=Trust_and_phishing

Silk Road will NEVER ask you for your PIN unless you're making an order from the Shopping Cart page.

What site did you use to log in, out of interest?

http://silkroaddrugs.wordpress.com/ got all links from there. I think I'm safe though since it said that the form has been reported for abuse, etc.

Yeah I went to those but I didn't forget my password, nor was it changed. I wanted to learn how to change it.

I actually just found out how though so it's all good.. account > settings ;P

Needless to say, you will have to either memorise or bookmark the real URL (silkroadvb5piz3r.onion) for future use. You are absolutely not safe as the phisher has your details the second you hit the 'log in' or 'ok' button. The " The form you submitted has been reported for abuse and we have disabled it. The information you entered has been discarded to protect you" comes up to lull you into a false sense of security, which has obviously worked in this case. Ensure you also change your PIN.

Please be more careful in future - you're very lucky that you managed to access your account using the real URL before the phisher had a chance to change your passphrase and PIN. If your account is compromised and your Bitcoin are removed there will be noting that Silk Road can do to help.
