I Need to Know, Can I Change "MyEtherWallet" Login Password? Am Think Someone Use My Wallet!
How do you know if your wallet is used by someone else? if that happens it will be very useless if you change your password, private keys (even though you can't). You only need to create a new MEW account and if your token is still there then you send it to the new MEW. Only a suggestion if you want your MEW to be safe when you access the MEW that you pubya you can bookmark the MEW site on your PC and save both the private keys that you have.

In my own opinion, I will like you to first check your wallet and confirm if your funds are still safe before you conclude that your account was tampered with because as long as you do not disclose your private key to a third party, your funds will be safe in the wallet and I do not think it is possible for you to change your password. If you have problem and not really sure of the safety of your funds, I think you should download hardware walet because this is safe to use especially on long term holding.

Login and password can not be changed unfortunately, make sure that no one has access to your private key. If you are still sure that you have been hacked, create a new wallet.

In my opinion you should switch to another wallet. and should use the JSON code and save the file initially. will be safer

Yeah JSON code is also good but if you want a full protection you can put a  extension to your MEW by putting MetaMask. This is the safest from everything even you're using a decentralized exchange.

If you feel that there may be a problem with your wallet, all you have to do is replace the new wallet immediately and transfer all the coins!

Yes just do this to make yourself calm and next time be wary from what you've doing.

You might talking about that password you do created when you make a new MEW wallet but those password are only just on your json.file not literally a password for your wallet generally.
If someone do have access on your wallet then no doubt someone do possess up your privatekeys yet this is the most common way for you to access your wallet.For now you cant do anything but to transfer those token balances if you are still lucky.

You will not be able to change your MEW password. If someone uses your wallet. Your personal key has been hacked. It is best to create and use a new address. And keep the computer clean

You can not change the MEW wallet passwords. It was created one time when you registering the wallet. If you feel it is not safe to use, please make the new MEW wallet with the stronger password or somthing you like.

You should always change your wallet for security, and you should use JSON because it requires a password and the file you download is more secure.

The private key cannot be changed. If someone knows your private key, then you can only create a new wallet, which is the safest way!

Password is only encryption for MyEtherWallet. Actually, there is no such thing as passwords for anything except local machine/software. Get your private key, make a new account on MetaMask and just transfer everything there asap.

As soon as you feel your wallet is compromised, does not matter which blockchain or crypto,,, make a new wallet, new device, sweep everything and clean device.

Like what others said, you can't change your Myetherwallet password, its as is.

You can create another MEW so the funds from your existing MEW can be transferred to the new one if you think that someone is using your wallet.

But if its really true, then that person must leave your wallet without anything and will transfer all of your funds.

While you still have enough time of creating and transferring your funds to your newly created wallet, do it.

The best and safest is that you should create a new wallet and pass the tokens there, and use the MEW hard wallet.

Just wondering why you are concerned of your password rather than the private key itself. You mean someone got accessed to your encrypted private key?

Check your funds or balance if it's still there. If does then just simply transfer it to a newly created ETH Wallet.

P.S Please study and familiarize yourself first to the interface of this forum. This section is Bitcoin Discussion not ETH Discussion.
I also agree with your suggestion and I do not think you can change your password, moreover, nobody can access your account without your private key and if that is safe and you have checked your wallet and your funds are still intact, then you can transfer it to a new wallet. Next time, your should be careful with the way you handle your vital information and avoid disclosing it to a third party.

If you thing someone has login to your wallet. definitely, your asset ETH and other tokens has stolen. Your wallet is useless now, no body can't help you more, as me know there is no way to change your password of wallet.

Sugest : You should create one as new wallet. Keep your file JSON, password and PrivateKey. Never share to anyone even if think those are trusted by you.

to change the password in myetherwallet I think it can be once and it is very annoying if anyone using or hacking accounts that we have, we must be more careful in maintaining the account we have.
