I am not cut out to be a hacker…

I managed to lock myself out of my password manager. This is not a happy accident.


I do have a record of the password that gets me the other passwords.


Unfortunately my handwriting is not always legible when it is a note scrawled amid a page full of other notes. There were at least 8 ways to read this fairly intricate item, and since you’ll get locked out for multiple mis-entries, it can take some doing to work your way in. Took me two hours to get in.


They don’t want us to use an ‘easy’ password. Well, it isn’t.

Janice Sounds like me. I locked myself out of Facebook...don't even remember my password.

Freyja I hate when that happens. Fortunately, my hubby's a programmer and can usually undo my messes. I say usually because I did some programming in my past, so if I messed up, then he's going to have a hard time cleaning up after me.

K.J. Joyner When you need a password to manage your passwords, then things have gotten far far too complicated. There's safe, then there's safe even from you. :-p
