WTF is this shit

[eateroftrees]

Okay so apparently I can't type my password well enough for Dreamwidth's liking and they are fond of locking you out of your account if you try logging on too many times with the wrong password.

WHAT THE FUCK.

I mean seriously there's such a thing as dyspraxia which pretty much means I can't type without making FUCKING RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF TYPOS and I can't check to make sure I'm typing my stuff correctly because my password is all starred out and you know, I can't SEE IT.

I am frustrated. >.<

I mean really I thought you guys were supposed to care about accessibility, but I've already been locked out of my account twice argh.

Maybe you could email support...or...something? However you can ask to get code changed? They're more likely than Tumblr (or LJ) to listen, I'd think.

Hopefully.

(personally, I copy+paste passwords, though I don't have dyspraxia.)

Well I have dyspraxia as an autism symptom. Also the fact that I couldn't remember which password I used on dreamwidth certainly wasn't helping matters.

(I recently had my email get hacked and so I had to change all my accounts that used that password, which, um... is leading to password confusion. I probably should come up with a bunch of new ones in case it happens again.)

mm yeah. I keep my passwords stored (not necessarily in the browser) cos I'd forget them all otherwise. and when I change them I update the stored info. so yeah. I have a System for these Things that prevents problems... most of the time. I have an old Yahoo account I can't go into anymore (thankfully nothing important is there).

[eateroftrees]

Yeah I think I need to store passwords more. Have been using the browser but obviously that has risks.

Probably am going to sometime soon change all my passwords ANYWAY soooooo recording them is important :P
