fucking passwords
Dec. 30th, 2015 09:17 pmI hates them.
I have too many accounts. I used to be fine - i used one algorithm for everything. Then I started to run into the problem where i couldn't repeat passwords, so I needed weirder and weirder keys, so i start using a different algorithm. Then I needed to set things up for work, and I don't want to use my personal algorithm, so I used something else.
Now I can't remember shit. I have a computer I was working on for work that i can't log into right now, because I don't have the password. Seriously. I can't remember. I tried all the reasonable things, and I can't remember.
And I have a work email account that i can only log into because my browser has remembered my password. Except i have another computer for work that is new, so it doesn't know the password yet. And I can't even reset the password to something new because i can't remember the old password.
dammit.
