Change your password in KDE

The trivial method to change your password is to launch a terminal and type passwd. However KDE has a GUI for changing passwords too. Smiling You can reach it in "System Settings / Personal section / About Me / Change Password". This actually launches the kdepasswd application (you can check this by launching the "Change password" screen as described before, then query the properties of the new window with xprop, look for the "_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL)" property and its value -which is the process id of the kdepasswd program-, and query the process parameters of the given PID with eg. ps -p PID -o args). So if you want to place a "Change password" shortcut on users' desktop or somewhere in the menu, then kdepasswd is the app for the link to point to. Smiling
