    I'd like to modify my WordPress account's password and username.

        You can do it manually or use a plugin to make things easier.

          Plugin means what?

            A plug-in, often referred to as an add-on or extension, is computer software that provides extra functionality to a host program without modifying it.

              Follow the steps to update Username:
              1. Log into WordPress.com using your existing username
              2. Access your “Account Setting” and enter the username you want under Username
              3. In the box Confirm Username that appears, enter your new username again
              4. The next step will allow you to change or create a matching blog address.
              6. Read the information presented on the page very carefully.
              Important: You will not be able to change your username back. The previous name will be reserved and no one will have access to it. URLs for other services such as Gravatar may be affected.
              7. Click Save Username to save your changes and update your username
