I was on the internet back into the 1980's, so when Passwords were needed. I used the same one for every service. Along the way, over the past 35+ years, I ave accumulated several hundred passwords. This was before password managers.
Now this has become a nightmare of changing, forgetting, required changes, and site and server changes. Ever more common, "Forgot Password?" and then the inevitable double confirmation of going back and trying to remember what Username and password I used last... going back to get a verification and then going back to the site, which I've now lost, in order to confirm.
Probably just as well. Time to wind down anyway. When I was teaching, I used to get 15 or twenty emails a day, with questions. Fortunately that has died off, as the people have died off.
Today I thought to check some of the many different email accounts (15) that I've had over the years. The ones I could get in to had hundreds of emails, going back many years.
Curious... anyone else in this situation?
