Hi @Gerrit Benson and welcome to the Community!

You don't need an identity provider to create an Atlassian account or change your password. An identity provider is necessary for organisations that want to integrate company managed accounts with Atlassian tools (and manage user accounts, security policies, SSO, ... centrally). 

Without an identity provider, all you need is a valid email address (and  first / last name), which is used to create a unique Atlassian account.

Hope this helps!
