Yahoo Account

[Dark Millennium]

I lost access to my Yahoo account for a few days. Not because I didn't have internet access, and certainly not because I forgot my ID. But because my password hadn't changed for years, was insecure, I decided to change it, and then COULDN'T REMEMBER IT EVEN IF YOU STUCK A GUN TO MY HEAD!!!!

Moral of the story, if you change a password you have been using for years, right down the new password until you are familiar with it.

Note: It took some thinking but I did managed to figure out the password... at least it was secure.

I had that happen once. I remember it being a pain in the rear to fix too.

Got you beat... Set up a fresh install of windows 2k Adv Server... do all the patches and set up all the game servers... and walked away for a few weeks and forgot the password...racked my brain for 2 days... to remember i just put it as password

It's not too surprising that so many passwords are forgotten when you consider just how many we need to survive day to day. Here's some things that require password each day just for me......

House alarm
Mobile Phone
Cashpoint Card
Home PC's & Server
User Account at the office
Servers Admin accounts at the office
Software login for work app.
Yahoo Accounts
BT Internet account
NTL account
Scanner system login at work
Door codes at work X 3
Old internet accounts that I still access now and again
Online bank login passwords
Print servers at customers
etc.
etc.

In fact the more I think about it the more is amazes me how few passwords we actually forget, so don't beat yourself up too much!!
