Does anyone know of an alternative way to change password on here? I'm trying to log in on the new laptop but don't recall what password is, and it doesn't show in profile settings (on my phone). I've asked for a verification code to be sent several times so I can reset it but nothings arrived... I definitely haven't blocked mse as I get the newsletter and notifications by emailhttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1
