Forgot my password to sign in so requested a new one.I was sent a new password and link to sign in.The password was over 80 characters long.Luckily I tried another password and it worked.

I’m not usually a fan of non-fiction but this story was great.

Why didn't you try the "another" password 1st


Not helpful I know but ... an 80 character password tad OTT

At least its sorted Jimscho

yeah, it asked me for an eight character password, so I typed "Snow white and the seven dwarves"

It is actually true.If I wasnt an old git and a technophobe I would put a copy of the email on here.

I tried to explain copy/paste to my dad but he just couldn't understand it.

It’s like explaining football to some experts on here.

The thing is he's smart. He was an engineer and I always looked up to him.

And I'm a computer programmer so you could say he had the best teacher.

But wow the blank looks

Love my dad

What’s all the fuss about. Looks okay to me. Just a bit funny with the 32rbfj in the middle.

looks easy enough to me

I just use a simple password. 12345678 is easy to remember.


Sometimes when I have logged on I can see messages I have sent but don’t recall sending them. It’s one of the good features of this site as it shows people I am active by sending messages for me.

I can see other people have the same useful set up because they sometimes say they did not send a message or, the site automatically changed the wording of their message.

I usually get digits 43.44.45 and 46 mixed up for some reason

Just use “incorrect” as your password

That way when you forget what it is and out something else in you will be told your password is incorrect and away ya go

my password is those on my "foe" list

Its well over 80 characters

This was posted on the humour thread and is a belter... by BigVince so thank him not me

I'm pretty savvy where tech is concerned.

I simply use my user name, I'm fairly confident that's the last thing a hacker would think of trying.

Up there for thinking fellas.
