So trying to change my password ingame using the command and I just constantly get 'the new passwords do not match' even though I am typing it completely correct every time.

Using the command

.account password .. $old_password .. $new_password .. $new_password ...

Just the same error every single time I try.

Q: If I know my account's password and can login, is there a way I can change it in the game itself instead of on the website?
A: Yes, there is a chat command to change your account's password in the game itself. Once logged in and actively playing your character, it is highly recommended to enter an instance by yourself and type the following command in your chat window using /s:
  • /s: .account password oldpassword newpassword newpassword

".account password" is the chat command to initiate the password change process. "oldpassword" is your account's current password. "newpassword" is the password you want to change it to and must be entered twice for confirmation. For example, if your current password is "Thrall123" and you wanted to change it to "Garrosh456," the chat command would be entered like this:
  • /s: .account password Thrall123 Garrosh456 Garrosh456
