Locked out of my life.

The Tyranny of passwords.

Just seen my future. Actually my present.  Since I lost access to my Apple account I have managed to forget my supermarket delivery password and my email password so I cannot verify my account.

Previously I lost access to my apple account because I could not remember my password. 

I could re-activate it, via an email, but I cannot  remember which email I used to set it up.  When I finally figure out which email address, I need the password to log on to the email.  Of course I can't remember it. Try a few answers and then get locked out. 

Try using verification by answering the security questions. I myself set up! I have three options and I get them all wrong! 

Eventually I ring up and have to explain all the ways in which I have locked myself out of my entire life.  Call taken by a young Irish man who is sweet and clearly thinks he's dealing with a poor old dear!  (He is not wrong and I have not even hit my dementia years).

Never mind he says. Do you have the card you used to set it up. Er. Nope. It got swallowed by a cash machine a month ago. 

I have a new card but the numbers he needs are different. He tells me the bank has to hold onto the old card numbers for 6 years.  

I ring the bank and they are not allowed to tell me. Full Stop. 

Eventually I find a way out of my self made prison. I have no memory of how I managed it.

Eldest: "Can't believe you managed to sort that all out by yourself"  (Not at all sarcastically😉)

Ouch.

On the plus side I managed to get my new tivo box set up…by a judicious application of a compliant, teenage son. 😂

Still locked out of my supermarket account.
