Constant need to "verify" devices

My dad had the exact same issue when I was a kid, and his name wasn't very common, either. The other man had the same first/last/middle initial, and was even born the same year! Not in the same town, but the same state.

We wondered if the other guy sometimes got the benefit of my dad's determined pursuit of a high credit rating, while dad had to defend himself against being confused with someone who didn't pay his bills.

When I worked in NYC, there was another lawyer in the city with the exact same name. We practiced in entirely different areas of law, but we would occasionally get each other's snail mail and email. We just forwarded it on to the other. I never did meet him in person although we did speak on the phone.

I use a VPN and discard cookies when my browser closes, so I see websites forgetting me all the time. When it annoys me enough, I add them to the list of sites allowed to set cookies long term.

Well don't leave us hanging - what's the security rank of each popular browser?

I'm using Chome now, but have used a couple other browsers in the past.

There's a guy in Canada who uses an email that is one character different from one of mine and I used to get emails for him all the time. I would dutifully forward them until one day he sent me a note that they weren't really important if the sender couldn't be bothered to get it right, and I didn't have to worry about them.

Since they were all related to his self-employed business, I thought that was a mighty cavalier attitude, but it was his call.

Back on topic, I use the Symantec VIP app on my phone for half a dozen different sites, and never had an issue with it.
