I’m probably stupid, but I can’t find where I can change the password for an account on mobile. I can’t see anything in settings and it doesn’t seem there is a bottom of the page I can scroll to. Clicking “use desktop view” doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

The password of the account I want to reset was shared and has been compromised.

Found it, thanks! That didn’t look like a tab to me at all!
