"Anon" has problems with cybersecurity [Mod approved non-greentext]
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Not a true greentext but I hope I have captured the spirit of it. (First time I wrote smth like this, don't be harsh on me. >w<)
Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated and secure, which it is.
I locked myself out of my main email account once.
I had set it up in the year 2000, when people didn't have mobile phones, so they sent a letter to your home address before they activated it.
In the meantime, I had moved 11 times, updated my personal info on the site a few times, but never added a phone number or recovery mail address.
So when I called the hotline and they asked me for my address to confirm I'm me, that was a hard one to answer. But I actually got it right in the second try, which was good enough.
The new issue is that I don't remember the password for DICK. I know the password to like, my password manager, on a good day.
There are like 500 other passwords I have to sift through to sign into anything
Isn't that what a password-manager should solve?
