Rare crusinbanjo Posted June 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hi All. Sorry I have not been posting. I had some problem with the new log in process. Apparently, I needed to log if using an old email address that I had not used since signing up in 2007. When I asked for some help, CC was very helpful, but I tried checking all the email domains that I have ever used, all came back as….. user unknown. So I was resigned to signing up with a new user name and email address. But, the good news is CC must have figured out this was a problem, because when I tried to log in today using my old user name, (just for fun), it let me in and displayed my old email address, which I promptly changed. So thank you CC …….. whew, that was a close one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have notice CC making some changes that take time and patience to catch up to the 'way things used to be." Welcome back!! THANKS! Enjoy!

Maybe phrase the password as an answer to a trivia question? You’ve always had much success at trivia. And, this way if you can’t remember the answer, Dr. Ron surely will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted June 7, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I gave up on remembering passwords, so I got the app 1Password. Now I only have to remember one, or make sure I have my index finger (Mac) or face (iPhone) with me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanina Posted June 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Here's a great way someone in tech taught me to remember passwords- It's almost fool proof 1) Begin with site name, (capitalized if a cap is required) so Cruisecritic 2) Next add any word or name you'll recall easily, IE blue 3)Your fav number or symbol, say 30 So password for this site would be Cruisecriticblue30 Same for each site, using site name, IE Amazonblue30, or Appleblue30, or Krogerblue30 Always works unless a site won't allow site name as part of password- in that case, use a nickname for site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a spreadsheet of user names and passwords to keep track of it all with some needing special characters, others not, etc, etc,etc. Mot too keen on using a password app, if that gets hacked, what then?!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. And the other big password app has been hacked. But so far 1Password has been safe. And the way it automatically fills in on my various Macs and iPhone is such a timesaver. But I do look forward to the next level of security, which is partway there with fingerprint and facial recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
