I just don't get these new fang led things
Passwords are the worst.
I have a different password for every account and website that requires a password.
At last count, that was 1,453 different passwords, all of which I need to commit to memory so I can access a site when I need too.
So....the importance of writing them down is paramount.
Wednesday I tried to log into my Xfinity account because we kept getting an error message on the tv. The directions said log into your account to troubleshoot.
I could not remember the password.
So, I clicked on the forget you password link.
I answered the security question.
Not the correct answer.
I had a text sent to my phone. Waited. Waited. Waited. No text.
I had a text sent to my phone again. Waited. Waited. Waited. No text.
So I played solitaire, did my blog, went to bed.
I tried again Thursday.
This time I answered the security question correctly. At that point, I opted to reset my password.
I typed in password 12345 and confirmed it and voila, got into my account.
(No, that is not my password. I would never reveal my password as password 12345. But it is easier to remember than Uncle buck &* is a funny guy.)
Then I went to read my e mail, typed in password 12345 and got the message that it does not match my account.
I figured it was just a matter of time for accounts to sync, so I stopped trying.
Later in the day I tried again, same message.
So I went back to Xfinity and changed my password again, this time to password 123456.
Could not get my e mail through the Comcast mail, but I could get it through my Xfinity page.
So I closed out of e mail, did some stuff, and two hours later came back to the computer and tried again........invalid password.
Friday morning.....invalid password.
At that point I went into my Comcast account and I think I changed the password there to passwword 123456m but to be honest I have changed so many freakin passwords I don't know!
Friday afternoon.......e mail.
I don't understand it. Isn't Xfinity Comcast?
I don't want to understand it.
It's just damn frustrating.
