If I go into settings where the passwords are can I change them without a baclklash. In other words would the new work?

Ron,

I believe there is a process for resetting your password, but can't recall what it is off the top of my head. I don't think it works right away???

Peggy M will probably jump in here at some point and try to help you out.

Ron,

Yes. Go in to your "Edit Profile" and change your password. Put it in. Say you use 10 letters or digits. Once you hit okay, the box that shows your password stars (******) ... will come up with more than 10, but don't be alarmed. If you took your time, and know what you put, it should be fine.

To check ... log out, then log back in. IF you can't get logged in, call the Geek (geek@stovebolt.com).

The thought only came about because I have forgotten a lot of my passwords abs some times I am asked to use them. I can go into settings and change them but I fear messing up every thing. I had Grammary for years and a few days ago it just quit working I am tried to delete it but still shows. Frustrated.

It is a pain when that happens. We have a paper with our passwords. It's now 2 pages long, 2 columns on each side. After all these years, we have a lot.

I've got the paper stapled to a "card" so John and I can easily pass it back and forth. Update it when it gets too many penciled in changes. Need to do it soon. Some sites require changes on regular basis.

We rarely have our passwords saved on computer when the browser prompts for it. Library is one of our oldest ones but it is saved.

Just necessary things to keep up this. Be happy it's not a chip on your forehead or hand. :o
