updating, saving, copying, forgetting
doing most anything with my passwords
never fails
to lead me on a trip down the rabbit hole.
this play-by-play found online describes it perfectly:
‘She died as she lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking her inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.’

I quit a certain bank many years ago because it made my logging in more difficult than what any hacker would have endured. And every time I screwed up, they’d LOCK my account and I’d have to go to the bank in person to get it unlocked. And no, a password manager is no help if you can’t get IT unlocked.
