My wife’s name in Jenny and I met her in 1982, same year that song came out I think.

A WISP we bought out had ihtmanpn19 as the password on everything, for “I have to make a new password now” and apparently they had done it 19 times. 20 years ago when WEP was still a thing, hardly anyone could come up with a 10 digit hex password. You’d tell them it has to be exactly 10 characters and you can only use 0-9 and A-F, and their brains would just freeze up. So we’d tell them to use their 10 digit phone number as their WiFi password. Some are still using that password, although the landline phone is probably gone. I wonder what the meetings are like where they come up with password complexity rules. Let’s make them use upper and lower case letters. And no dictionary words. Oh, and numbers. That was fun, let’s require special characters now, watch them struggle. How about you can’t repeat the same character. Or use any of your last 10 passwords. Can we make them eat a bug?

There was one filter that I put in so long ago, I don't remember when it was. This new filter just appeared out of nowhere (at least to me). I use Thunderbird most of the time, and rarely use web mail. The one other activity that I'd been doing in the time frame was archiving a bunch of older emails to clear space, but I did that in Thunderbird. In fact, I thought I'd accidentally created a filter in Thunderbird (that's what I used to archive the old emails), but after I did the archiving, I purged the Thunderbird filters). bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 9/8/2025 9:15 AM, Steve Jones wrote: you can look in your login history to see if your account was accessed from elsewhere, also just for kicks check your forwarding rules to make sure there isnt a forwarder set up On Sat, Sep 6, 2025 at 5:36 PM Bill Prince <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Just a few days ago, I changed all my google account passwords (in case you hadn't heard, there was a breach of ~~ 2.5 billion accounts). As is probably the case with most of you, I have several google accounts for different purposes (including this one). So I went through them one by one. Just changed the passwords, and nothing else. Right after that, all my AF incoming started going directly to trash (not spam). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why until I checked filters, and somehow a filter had been applied that directed all incoming to the inbox was sent to trash. I did not do that, and I don't know how it happened. My SO thinks I was hacked, but I have a hard time believing that. None of my other google accounts was affected. -- bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
