Passwords suck
Argh! I’m annoyed with creating user accounts. Everyone has their own damn process for passwords:
But no, I can’t use 12 characters with letters, numbers and punctuation because it’s more than 8 or because it doesn’t have a capital letter.
An the real pain is when you go to log in, they won’t remind you of this “rule”. And I really like it when it says “username” when what they really want is my “e-mail address”.
My absolute favorite stupid rule is the hint to get your password must be at least 8 characters. Sorry, my hometown, mother’s maiden name, first pet and street aren’t that long! How am I supposed to remember this.
And all these companies need to have the ability to handle multiple e-mail addresses. It’s such a hassle when I need to change something (for something I signed up for 5 years ago) and I can’t remember their rule and the e-mail address I signed up with doesn’t exist any more.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I agree 100%.
I’ve thought about getting password software but am afraid it really isn’t safe.
Ugh. I hate this BS too. I have so many passwords that I just tell my computer to remember them all… but then when I clear my cache they are all gone and I have to go searching for them again
