.htaccess rewrite query string as path url-CodePudding

I searched for this question but only came across very specific answers that I couldn't tailor to my requirements.

My URL now looks like this: https://example.eu/?action=changepassword and I want it to look like this: https://example.eu/changepassword so text ?action= gets deleted.

I tried to adapt this but it didn't work.
