I tried to log into the new forum using the OLD forums login and said the password was incorrect. I used the password recovery and it gave me a temp password and I was able to get into the new forum. But the problem is I can’t find where to set a new password in the new forum under Preferences or Profile… . .
FOUND IT 
I had to log into the main ga.me site and change it there. Not in the Oort forum profile.
Yep - it’s all part of the SSO (single sign on). We intend to point people at the ga.me account page when they’re looking for their password / email options. (These forums are still a work in progress.)
