I think 3 times—and I’m a Luddite.
Why? The online site said “Have your forgotten your password?” Then wouldn’t accept any in my tattered sheet of various usernames and passwords for book sellers, seldom used accounts and so on.
Then, annoyingly, “You cannot make a new account as you already have an account.” Then back to not acceptable password or username for the existing account. Denied access.
A paradoxical trap.
So wrote a check.
NOW you’re talking about REALLY irritating. Nothing worse... You need X number of lower case letters, X number of numerals, X number of upper case letters - START OVER....Even if you made up the most preposterous password you could ever think of, you would be told, it’s already in USE! Another example is portals for medical doctors....Some I just refuse to set up because of the aggravation of doing so.
