Ask HN: How do you recover HN password?

1 points by barking 13y ago ↗ HN

On one machine I'm logged out.

So I thought there would be a password recovery option on the log in page but there isn`t. Nor are there any contact details available apart from general yc enquiries. I can`t find anything in the FAQ either.

Recent experience shows if you repeatedly try to log in and fail you will be offered the option to recover your password, provided you filled in the appropriate field in your profile.
