Password management is hard enough for younger people who aren’t computer savvy or don’t know how to use password management vaults or tools. Add age to that equation and everything goes to shit. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be great to go back to a simpler time?
That’s my long term goal…
It’s not just those pesky neighbors with password challenges.
I maintain a secure list of digital login credentials for about everything Mom and Carl have. I have it because in the past, attempting to login to anything — from email to their wifi… and from youtube TV to Amazon — consisted of an hour of them arguing over where to find one specific username and password in a book where they’ve written them all down by hand.
This morning, I had a client that I worked with forever call for help. They’ve sold their business and building and retired. They need modifications to their domain and server records for a transfer of services. She gave me the username and password… but it was WRONG. The email used to reset the password is one that went with the business that no longer works. ARG!
I don’t have long before I lose my password management skills!
I figure after my big birthday next month I’ll be in the same boat as all the other golden oldies struggling with new fangled technology. Oh my!
Now you know: Walmart ended the sale of pet fish in its stores in 2019. It’s estimated that Walmart was responsible for up to 30% of tropical fish sales in the US.
