Just had my worst password week in years
Monday I got locked out of my bank account because I forgot I changed the password last month. Tuesday my work VPN kicked me out 3 times before I realized I had caps lock on. Wednesday I found out my password manager had been saving duplicates for 6 months. By Thursday I just reset everything and started fresh. Has anyone else had a week like this where everything just falls apart?

Oh man I did that thing where I got locked out of my grocery delivery account like 4 times in a row. Turns out I was typing my old cat's name instead of the actual password. The cat passed away five years ago. So weird how brains work lol.

Oh man, that is an absolutely brutal week! I honestly felt stressed just reading through all that, especially the password manager duplicates part, that's like digital sabotage. Maybe the universe was trying to tell you it was time for a password intervention or something. At least now you have a clean slate and probably a bunch of new passwords to forget in a month!

A clean slate just means more work later though, right? Isn't forgetting all those passwords just going to lead to another round of password resets in a few months?
