redhedlvr2Does this ever happen to anyone else? Damn passwords.
You go to a site. Enter login name, check. Enter password, erm... Try again, no luck. You know if you try a third time you're locked out so you hit the "ok I give up" button. There you get asked a bunch of security questions which YOU! have set up the answers to.
The one that stumped me yesterday was, "What is your middle name?" Now when I was setting up those answers, did I use my given middle name or my maiden last name which I took as my married middle name? I actually sat and had to think about what my state of mind might have been when I set the damn thing up. And you know, if you guess wrong, the site is gonna think someone's trying to hack into your account and you'll never get back in.
Enough already!
