my email has gone weird
« on: December 26, 2010, 02:59:44 AM »
every single time I try to use gmail or yahoo I have to go thru the "I forgot my password" process, I can't simply login anymore a real pita  ??? :mad:

I have to answer my security questions and reset my password. If I sign out the new password wont work!! even here at APS it said my password is incorrect - then after I screamed at the computer it let me sign in ( that only happened once)

I used to have a stalker, is it possible she tried to login & screwed things up?

Most people pick bad security questions. If you have a stalker, she probably knows enough about you to guess your security questions and change your passwords. (Think about it: high school name, mother's maiden, etc. Nowadays people can get most of the answers from ten minutes on Facebook.) That's keeping you from logging in each time.

Find out how to switch your security questions to something secure.  Here's a tip: lie.

My first pick for security question is always "What was your first pet's name?" But I've never answer it with the name of any of my pets. Even my best friends and family would have no idea how to answer it, let alone a stalker.

IDK, I changed my password, signed out then tried to sign in again a minute later-same problem.
