In the other locked thread, Gaile Gray stated that one could “click cancel” to dismiss the message about changing one’s password.

I cannot find this item to click. Please assist.

I am not sure if you’re asking about the validation request or the change your password request. Let me give details on both:

Validation Request

Validate Your E-mail Address

((Text about validation))

To update your email address, [live link: click here].

Then there are two buttons:

Cancel and Send

If you click “Cancel” you can enter the game without validation.

Change Your Password Request

On the second page, there is a red flag asking you to change your password. You are NOT required to do this. Simply click the large red “Play” button in the lower right and you’ll skip that step.

Please note: There is more information on the password change recommendation here.

This does not address my concern nor the implied possibility.

I am seeeing a change your password request. I have declined this request.
How can dismiss this unhelpful request?

There is no way to cancel the notice about changing your password. What Gaile was referring to is the email authentication system. The only way to remove the password reminder is to actually change your password.
