A note to the Undead...

If you change your password FR may think you are a new subscriber and limit your ability to post and FReepmail.

I updated my OS yesterday and ended up having to re enter all my old passwords on everything. Of course, the one I couldn’t remember was FR’s. Mashed “Forgot password” and waited for my email.

Then it occurred to me that I’ve been on FR a long time, and I might, just might, have an old not very secure one, sure enough, it was one I used way back when before I started site specific passwords, no caps, no numbers, no special characters, dictionary spelling.

Hmmm, time to update. Which I did. My posts are now on hold for evaluation.

Just something to be aware of...

Howya, nully. Confusicating on the password thingy. I use the same password anywhere systems will let me, and then I have an “at least 8 characters”, a “must include numbers” password and a “must include non-alphanumeric” password for those occasions.
