You don't need to change it. Every 30 days you have to set a password but it can be the same one everytime.
After you set a new password (or continue using the old one) log out (top right hand coner of this web page) and then log back in again and your browser should remeber it again for 30 days. Where you login with the user name and password there is a little tick box that you have to select. I assume that the site generates a cookie. I don't have to use the browsers' "remember user name and passwword" facility to automatically have access for 30 days without having to enter the details everytime.

I wish they disabled this thing. It is really annoying to be fair.

My Firefox bookmarks sync to Firefox on my Android 'phone.
I also don't find Firefox on Android "unfathomably weird". It just seems to have a mobile interface instead of a desktop one, which I can handle*.
*But I hate a mobile interface on the desktop. So I hate Windows Mail. Fortunately (for me) I use a Linux desktop.

I hate a mobile interface on desktop too. So I hate Windows 8 and I can't raise much enthusiasm for Windows 10 either.
Windows 7 I can live with, mostly, when it behaves itself.
Wish I had got to do more with Linux before I got old and learning new stuff became so much harder for me.
I can move my Chrome bookmarks to Firefox on desktop Windoze.
But when I sync to Firefox on Android they basically get scambled and some are not in their correct folders anymore.
Plus I just don't get how to work Firefox on Android, how to switch between windows, open new window, close a window etc. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

You're right. It makes more sense than last time I tried.
I still has all my thousands of bookmarks in a flat unordered list though rather than sorted in folders like on the desktop.
Okay the secret to getting Chome to remember is to log in from a mobile.
On mobile there is a much more normal log in page with username and password in big fields in the middle of the page and mobile Chrome understands and remembers them.
On desktop you always log in in by filling tiny boxes that are at the top or top left of a big complicated page and Chrome is dumb and can't tell what you're doing.
On desktop the page where you change you password is recognised but on that page the place of you username is taken by your email address and remembering email and password doesn't work when you need username and password to log in.
Modern computers are such as mess compared to what we had thirty years ago.
I don't use chrome on desktop but are you saying it is not like firefox where you goto tools then security saved passwords find the site you want and change username and password.
I need to do that some times on firefox some sites especially when just joined firefox will ask to save user name and password but it adds your email address as user name you need to edit it before saving or edit it later on.
