First and foremost, I'm hoping that no one reading this blog is expecting any quality writing. You might check my short stories, essays or poetry for that, but not here. Here I just ramble. Here is where I open the gates and let whatever comes, come.
When I can remember my password.
You're not supposed to keep a list of passwords, you're not supposed to use the same one for everything, you're not supposed to make it easy to figure out.
Ok, then how am I supposed to remember it?
Sure, I can go through the whole retrieval process, answer questions, give my email. "How many toes are on your left foot?" a question only I know the answer to, and now I feel I must share that it is FIVE because otherwise you're going to think its six or four or heaven forbid, one.
Once I've jumped through the appropriate password retrieval hoops, it doesn't actually GIVE me my old password, it makes me create a new one. Except it won't let me make one that I've used before, so every time I forget a password, I have to come up with one further and further from that "reference point" that we all use. "KittyBum21" or "KittyTushi21", etc. (disclaimer: I do not use those). So now I have to come up with something like "DontForgetThisYouIdiot11" or "YourStupidPassword11" (I do not use these either).
What does this constant branching -out mean?
It means I'm guaranteed to forget my password the next time I need to log onto my blog, resulting in yet another festival of frustration.
*sigh*
