For some reason, one of my financial places does NOT remember my password....or name
no matter how hard I hit the remember block

I'd quit 'em, but their interest rate is really good

One of my financial websites apparently wants the customer to change their password every few months. Turns out- I don't log in there but every few months, so my password is WRONG every time I visit the site. It only takes me 45 minutes of my life to get all that garbage straightened out...until next time. 🙄 :mad::confused:(n):cautious:🤬😱🙄
 
The hospital where I worked lo these many years ago decided that employees were using passwords that were too simple, so they assigned everyone a password. It was something ridiculous like aQ3*Bc5# and WE.WERE.NOT.TO.HAVE.IT.WRITTEN.DOWN.ANYWHERE in our cubicles.

Needless to say, the IT department was inundated 24 hours a day with people who couldn't remember their passwords and needed their computers reset.

The fiasco lasted a couple of weeks and then we were quietly told to choose our own passwords again, just make sure they had at least one number, capital, symbol and be at least eight characters long. So everyone went back to things like Ih8temyjob! Mine was YamIhere2day?

my list of passwords to all the sites i go to is so long i'd get locked out before i'd remember any of them.
 
About passwords. I have a password app that remembers my passwords. I also have a printout of all my passwords, just incase my computer goes blue screen. If i go to a site that I haven't been in a while, you get the prompt to enter your password. And it won't accept it. I have TWO copies of the password that DID work, so why doesn't it work now?
 
It's funny I'm reading this now. All morning I had a lot of trouble getting in any website. I have a book with all my passwords written in it yet they said they were wrong and then after a long time I finally got in some of the places.
 
I just got an email saying "review your application and edit as needed by hitting EDIT Button. Problem: no Edit Button :)
Now apply the above situations to the time before the internet in a face-to-face discussion. It would resemble the old "Who's on first?" Abbot & Costello routine
 
I have little trouble with my regular computer but when I travel I use a laptop. Then the "fun" starts. Over and over the internet wants me to prove that the laptop is mine. I get pretty sick and tired of punching in those "verification codes."

Dunham and his band of 'dummies' have been favorites of mine for years. First ventriloquist since my childhood that really appealed to me. He's his own straight man. Netflix and YT both have some of his specials from over the years--and he made some YT clips at home when he couldn't tour due to pandemic.


Before a show in the middle east (i think in Dubai can't recall) the US State Dept had strongly suggested he not bring out Achmed, the Dead Terrorist. But the audience, including front row filled with men who were obviously wealthy Muslims demanded Achmed! Talk about being in a spot, but he handled with his usual humor and the crowd loved it.
