Fed up with passwords not working.
It means I have to change them (which is never as simple as they like to pretend) and then there's far more chance I'll forget them.
In the last two cases I didn't forget them, they just didn't work.
The first was an online store.
I was sent round in an endless loop which had to be referred onto the IT Team, because the Helpdesk couldn't help and the IT Team don't work over the weekends. 48 hours later I am able to start my online shopping. I mean I can't actually pay for it until Friday, but I wanted a chance to check and compare prices and deals. Which on this particular site you have to log in to do.
And the second was a work/ leisure/ benefits website accessible from home, which I know I had the correct password for as I'd written it down (it's useless without two other pieces of information anyway).
Tried to get my password reset by answering the Forgotten Password questions but it wouldn't let me past the answer page.
And there's NO WAY I got the answer to those questions wrong because they're factual information about my family.
I tried going back to the start, but by then I'd tried too many times and am now locked out.
Contact the Administrator.
Hmmmm. Who he? (she?).
No details anywhere I can access without a password it seems.
So I can't do what I had planned, which was check my hours this week, check my annual leave for next year or check what discounts are available on flights/ holidays in order to start thinking about what to do with said annual leave.
So it's not really all that important. It's just frustrating not to be able to do what I want, when I want, when technology is supposed to make everything easier.
