I signed up for .mac and am able to Backup, have an email account, iDisk etc., but when I go to System Preferences /Internet and click the .Mac tab my member name is correct but the password is not. My password has 8 digits and the one in the window has 10. How do I change the password? When I click on the iDisk tab it tells me to enter my info on the .Mac tab (catch 22). I can circumvent this by going to Apple/.Mac and entering my password there. Any ideas?

I believe it is supposed to display 10 digits, to keep anyone from seeing how many digits are actually in the PW. Same for me.

You can change your password from the .Mac website. Otherwise, delete the keychain entry in Keychain Access for .Mac and then try to re-enter your password in the Internet pane.

And yea, it's supposed to display 10 digits so nobody can guess your password by the number of digits it has.
