I had signed up for a free account using my google login. I had a link shared with me to upload a file to a clients folder for a contest entry. When I go to open the link it says to update my passward to a stronger one. When I go to update the password, an error message pops up that my current password entered is incorrect. I then went into my profile under authentication it says "no password created". So I then clicked "create password" and I followed all of the specifications. It said that the new password was good (strong). However, when I click to submit the password, another error message shows "there is a problem updating your password." How can I fix this?
