Passwords

So, these days we use the computer for so many things, and have passwords on most, if not all of what we use the computer for.

Last week I used an account that I had not used in some time. I thought I had remembered the password for that account. Apparently, I was wrong!

Now, I know that as we age, we do forget and sometimes we have to write things down and I do for some important things that need to be done. Most of the time I don’t need to look at what I have written, but, it is there in case.

I tried three different passwords, to no avail and so I decided to reset the password. Now, why did I see a message pop up to ask, ‘What was the last password you used on this account?’. If I knew what the last password was I used, would that not have unlocked the account in question?

If you reset the password, it is generally because you have forgotten it and so it seemed a silly question to ask. My password has now been reset and I am now able to access that account. Yippee?

Smile and have a great day 🙂
