Password remembering cycle of doom

Forgot your password pops up on myscrene???

The never ending username, password, reset, can't use these ?:@{} HAVE to use one of these ABC and one of them 122, and DEFINITELY one of these !.>_!

You seem to have forgotten which user name matches which password, or is it the other way round??

Please reset, remember you can't use the same user name, email or password you have entered before, BUT NEVER WRITE IT DOWN!!!!

Trying to access one account, to then realise you need to access another to access the one you are trying to access. You have to have the password reset email sent to an alternative address that you have also forgotten the password too as you haven't accessed that for as long as you haven't tried to access the first account you are trying to access. You have to reset all the passwords, and obviously you will forget these again when you try and access the account again!!!!

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE THE SAME PASSWORD FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!

You actually can't any more, even if you wanted too. Some sites want capitals, some want a number involved, some you can't have a number, some you can't have a capital. There are the top 5-7 sites that you can access first go (YES!!) But then there are the 5-10 sites that require a long circle of reset password, different account, new password, not that one silly, try another one, nope, still wrong, arghhhhhhhhhhhh.

You now have a growing number of email addresses; I think I have 8 in total. The first one you ever started, usually something silly like, Ilikeraving@hotmail.com, or pinkandfluffy01@hotmail.com.

Then you realise that you might need a more mature one for, lets say university or a new job. You can't have myfaceissmileyandilaughlikeahampster@hotmail.com on the top of your cv or application form??!?! Maybe no one is telling recent graduates and this is why fresh graduates can’t find work? This first silly email then becomes your 'spam, adverts and junk' email i.e, any website that you know is going to send endless emails the minute you hand over your address.

You start email address number 2. A more sensible email this time. Your name, a few dots, maybe a dash, underscore and a number. This is your new sensible email, personal contacts and no junk email. You slowly forget the log in details of your first email.

You then sign up to a few sites with you shiny new, personal only email address. And before you know it, the new email address is now a second 'spam, adverts and junk' email. You now have to trawl through your inbox to find the real emails. This has gone on for YEARS. I am on email address number, who knows, with a trail of old and junk filled email address following me with the login password lost in the depths of my mind along with other useless information that I discard to make way for, lets say LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD.

Then you try and order something. You have used the first email all those years ago to sign up to this particular site. You have no idea what the password is so you hit 'send password'. It fires a reset password to your email address, you have no idea what the password is for this email address, you hit 'send password', it fires an email to another email address. You now need to remember the password for the reset password to reset the password to reset the password, to order something you probably don't even need and the whole argument of, internet shopping is quicker than going to the shop becomes hugely flawed.

Technology. Has it improved our lives or made it worse??? The jury is still out

I'm off to the shop to speak to a real live person.......
