Something that would let a bad guy get at my money or other things of importance have secure ones, but sites that make you log in to look at old forum posts? They get the stupid easy password. I”ve run into some sites that don’t prompt you to save the password; it’s something in the way the sites are written. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Keychain loosing passwords
This is what I fear: Apple suggests a ‘secure’ password there is no way you’ll remember so you try it. Then it never gets saved in your password! Sometimes I enter a password on a website and in never asks ‘do you want to save that password?’ Is this unusual? It has happened to me several times, I have a password file in my file cabinet but seriously, with 500 plus online logins, it is not up to date. Now with greater security on Google and the like, I guess they are physically reviewing reset requests and it takes days... Thinking about using password manager software but isn’t that what iCloud is supposed to be doing? Now I am in the recovery process with Google that will take a couple days. I am still logged in on my iPhone (password not saved there) but of course, google now blocks messages from downloading to my phone so only the previews are there. This is a family email account I started in April of 2019 and never used, I use it today and- locked out. I don’t use my iMac much but it still the family server and backup machine, maybe it is time to replace it... 2008 iMac Mac OS X El Capitan Gmail account Russell Courtenay Solemnity and profundity are sublime in inequity.
