I think I have it Under Control

For reasons unknown to me I decided to log out of blogger. I guess not unknown. I am getting a new phone and a gmail account has to be associated with it. The gmail account was open and logged into, but i had to give my granddaughter the password to it so she could setup my phone. 

Well crap. I don't remember the password. So i went to log out of that gmail account, but in doing so i have to log out of all gmail accounts. This blog is associated with fredhorn37@gmail.com. And i didn't know the password to that either. Well crap.

Now what do i do. I logged out of everything and went to the gmail account for the phone, made a scientific wild assed guess about the password, and voila! I'm in. 

Now how do i log into fredhorn37@gmail.com. Had to go to forgot password and get a new password. Did all that, but when i logged in, blogger would not go to the posts place where i do my posting from. Took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to get here. 

So i think i have it under control. Maybe. We will see.

  1. Seems stupid, but with all the sites and software with all password requirements you have to write them down... which kinda defeats the purpose of having passwords. All they have to do is break into your house and rifle through your desk for the little black book of passwords and question prompts and viola! Your life is gone...

    1. Yep. I tried to make a password very similar to what i like to use all the time, but nope. The password nazis rejected the first four i put in. So i made up a whole new one, and wrote it down. Just like that my so important posts are vulnerable to the nsa, etc.
