Do you get frustrated with the ever new technology? I do and what I don't understand is how things changed in my own accounts, but its not me who's changed it!
I have several bank accounts to keep my money separate.. eg. one is solely for bill payments. So money goes in to cover our energy, phones and internet, Council Tax and water bill and anything left over is transferred into what we term the 'House' account, for repairs or replacement items. Food is paid from a different account, which is our joint account and with that Bank, we both have individual personnel accounts. To us it is simple and we know each other's passwords, although mine are changed more than I want, because there are times when my passwords don't work, but they are all written down!
I can't believe it when I get a the polite message, ' Something is not right' and I can't get into my account, I'm inclined to loose my cool!
When I had to phone a bank the other day I had all the ' to make sure its you' questions.. and you've guest it, I kept getting them all wrong! It was so long ago when I opened that account, years ago! In my frustration I asked the young woman to ask me a question I knew! Then I remembered when and where I opened that account, it was a three weeks after we were married, so I was able to convince her, it was me.. Anyway I added, if anyone wants to access my account to pay my Credit Card bill please let them. She didn't laugh, Dh came to help me write down all the new passwords, which I hate, because I'd had what I thought were correct for years and I liked them and I thought I knew them! Grrrrrrr technology!

I have a list of them all on the computer and I only need to remember the one password to get into them. It is a pain sometimes
That sounds like a nightmare. No I don't have that problem. I have one bank account and a debit card. I have two direct debits coming out of the account monthly. Bills I pay with cash. Things going wrong for me is that email notifications for comments on my yoootooob channel have stopped. Now I have to check them once a day on my dashboard.
Frustration beyond belief for me too. Thankfully my husband has the brain for it!
Grrrr indeed!
Yes, all those passwords are such a pain!
I have a passwords book, which I have currently, today, mislaid. It's here somewhere, I know!
What a nightmare. And it's your very own account and the bank wants to lock you out. I am not a computer lover or smart, so I try to keep things simple. But we do bank on line.
Indeed too much technology can be really annoying. Regarding passwords, try what is called a "password manager". There are many out there. All your passwords can be stored there. And, you need to remember only one password to access the manager.

What I dislike is when they decide to change the website all around to make it 'better and easier' for us. It certainly can be frustrating at times!!!
It is a pain. 'They' update their systems all the time and it often seems to wipe off/cancel passwords that 'we' have used for years. I have mine written down too, so I know it's not me that's at fault.
I feel for you. I hate the password runaround I get online at times.
