Ran Norton and when one of the items cleared was tagged as a higher-level security risk, thought, just to be safe, I'd change passwords on major accounts. Don't do it as often as recommended anyway.

So, now, on two bank accounts, can't get the blasted browser to remember the correct password. The window pops up asking if I want to update, but it leaves it up there for 1/5 of a second. I click on it, as best you can with no time, but when I try the account again, it still doesn't remember it correctly. One of the accounts decided, twice, to disable log-in because of the failed passwords, and I had go thru having codes emailed, etc.

I never duplicate passwords for anything, and there is no way I'm memorizing sets of name & password for everything I do online. I do record them, but damned if I want to have to look something up every time I log in.

This happened before some time ago, where the check box wouldn't stay up long enough to really click it. Seems like it eventually resolved itself. No idea why it does that, but anyway, there's about an hour of my life I won't get back again.

If you are using Chrome, under settings you can manage passwords and update it there. Or at passwords.google.com. If you aren't using Chrome......I dunno. Good luck?

Also on Chrome, when a Web site prompts for credentials there will be a key icon in the address bar on the right, right beside the star where you can favorite a site. You can click that key to purge/change credentials for the site you have open.

When calling most customer service lines, select "Spanish" for your language. They are always in the States. And. . . they almost all speak perfectly understandable English too. So if you don't speak Spanish, just say, "whoops, I must have hit the wrong button." They'll still help you out, but in lovely, non-accented English. :)

On my morning commute I have to head North on a side street and make a left turn at a standard four-way intersection onto a busy one-way East-West arterial. I put on my turn signal. Cars going directly South through the intersection (i.e., heading directly towards me on the side street) often, but not always, wait for me to turn instead of proceeding expeditiously through the intersection even though they have the right of way. If they would just go I wouldn't get hung up when the East-West traffic comes by again as often happens because I always have to wait to figure out if they're going to go or not since some of them do understand that they have the right of way. I hate to have a pet peeve against excessive misguided politeness, but there it is.
