Wednesday Mouse Jan 2017 2:57pm, 10 Jan 2017 714 posts	Quote Pin Wednesday Mouse Website login pages which ask for a username and password.. so you type in your username & password and are denied entry, username is not recognised. That's odd. Maybe I used a different one. Try another one. Nope. Same response. Try a third. Nope. Click the "I've forgotten my username" link, to be told "your username is the email address you signed up with". Ffs. If you wanted my bloody email address ask for my email address, not a username. The two are very different.
Fragile Do Not Bend Jan 2017 4:10pm, 10 Jan 2017 1,365 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend When you find your usual password doesn't work so you recover it and go to change it - to be told only at that point your password needed to have a number but no capital letters (or some other rule). If they had mentioned that earlier, I would have remembered what it was as I had added a number and taken out capital letters from my usual password.

B4 has not been a vitamin since forever and is not allowed]. Race websites which demand password security more complicated than my actual bank does.

Surrey Phil Jan 2017 10:41pm, 10 Jan 2017 1,814 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Microsoft Word Office Assistant. Thankfully a thing of the past (I hope). Stupid animations popping up while trying to type a document asking if I need help. Really annoying when hot-desking. For me, that too is in the past!
