How do I update the site password for fetch newsfeed?

nuke · 04-16-2014, 09:41 AM

Some websites that I fetch news from, in particular the Economist, have updated the SSL version because of Heartbleed and now are asking every user to update their password.

I am pretty certain that I added my user and password for the Economist at one point so Calibre could access.

Now that I've changed my password on the website, how do I update that password in Calibre?

I can't find the place in the Schedule News Downloads to change the password.

(I don't seem to find mention of passwords in the Manual and only find recipe code that shows password on the web but not how to change. I don't know enough to modify code.)

Have you tried Schedule? (Scheduled (items) should be at the top of the list.

Thank you, yes. I have found that menu item and opened the dialog box for setting the time and date for downloads for the Economist.

I'm pretty sure there was a place to put username and password on that dialog box.

Attached is dialog box that I'm looking at.

the economist website doesn't need username password to access articles anymore.
