Lost or Forgotten password

If you have lost or forgotten your LDAP password, you can have it reset by sending a PGP signed message to the mail gateway:

echo "Please change my Tor password" | gpg --armor --sign | mail chpasswd@db.torproject.org
or
echo "Please change my Tor password" | pgp -fast | mail chpasswd@db.torproject.org

The daemon will then respond with a new randomized password encrypted with your key. You can then use the SSL Web pages to change your password to something you can remember. You cannot set a new password via the mail gateway.

Alternatively, you can do without a password and use PGP to manipulate your LDAP information through the mail gateway, which includes instructions on SSH public key authentication, for example.
