Keychain loosing passwords

2020-08-08 Thread 'Russell Courtenay' via iMac Group 
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...

Re: Mail vs. Gmail...?

2020-08-08 Thread Bill Spencer 
OSX version is 10.15.6--is there more we need to know? IMAP is set as 
account access, and I can't find anything about synching spam (or other) 
folders but there was never an issue until a few weeks ago.
