You guys like these, so let me pull a random email from our technical support mailbox today:

Comments: Since your service insisted I should upgrade my e-mail account and demanded I choose a longer password, I don't remember my new password. I had written it on a piece of paper, but I lost all the little pieces of paper on which I had written passwords. So I can't get into my e-mail now. Please email me what my new password is, and I'll write it down several places. Thanks.

OK, what should I respond?

Do nothing. When they ask about it few days later, tell them you emailed it to them.

Let me guess, he probably checked yes on the question WOULD YOU LIKE INTERNET EXPLORER/FIREFOX TO REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORDS FOR YOU? It is just a hunch though.

We get about 3 emails a month from old people requesting faxes of websites.

I often said I could make a killing with a business that faxes webpages to senior citizens. They'd love it.

I hate it when passwords have so many random requirements like:

Capital letter
Lower case letter
2 numbers
10 characters
No repeating characters.

I'm like, wtf? I just want to use one password for everything. Is it that hard?

You know what our password requirements are?

6 characters. Her old password was 4.
