No idea if it’s all the passwords I have to remember, or part of getting older 🤔

    Use a password manager yoooo. I spent half a decade avoiding it and said fk it one weekend and set it up. It takes some time to set it up the first time but it’s the way to go.

    This reminds me of when USAA would let you enter a longer password on the login screen than was actually possible to set, so if you generated a 14 digit password and pasted it into the password reset, it wasn’t immediately evident that it only took 12. But on login, you could enter all 14 characters and then it’d just say it’s wrong. I’m…90% sure they don’t do that anymore.

    Also, KeyBank used to (or maybe still is? I closed my account years ago) not support case sensitive passwords. So whether your caps lock was on or not, or you alternated upper/lower however you wanted, your password still worked. I think they were converting to lowercase on the back end.

    This generally occurs when a user enters the correct password, but has a typo in the username. The user is psychologically fixated on the password and overlooks the actual mistake.

    Then, when changing the password, they re-enter the current password and finally discover the password was never the problem.

    I know this is an obscure reference, but that last panel is the same as Linkara’s reaction to when in the terrible comic Marville, Spike Lee was revealed to be the Kingpin (of parody-version Marvel).
