I write many, many places. The majority of these are next-to-no-name, either small operations, or so crowded with other writers that my pieces are bound to get a bit buried from time to time, but either way, I have logins galore, passwords aplenty, all of them needing to be accessed from various computers all over town.
Okay, nix that last part - I don't have access to multiple computers. This isn't "Hackers."
Point being, while I am not an "I have just one easy-to-guess" passworder, there is some necessary overlap between some of my minor accounts. I was an English major - I only remember "mood."
So last night, when I received an e-mail from one of these multiple websites, saying that a request had been made to switch the e-mail aligned with the account from mine to "jilligogon@yahoo" - gogon? Come on - I promptly acted on their suggestion that I login to cancel this request.
Except since the business in question sent their confirmation e-mail TO THE REQUESTING ADDRESS, I was already blocked from my account.
Enter: Paranoia.
After a frenzy of coming up with passwords based on what house the moon is in and the square root of Pi and various other things that hopefully weren't too "personal," I settled down somewhat...but I'm still locked out.
Amongst the e-mails this company CAN'T manage to send are ones addressing this problem. How wonderfully ironic.
