👍 #873 – No Email from LastPass? Dealing with Sign-In Problems

Happy Anniversary to . . . me!

August 10, 2003 is when the first Ask Leo! article was published.

Those were the days of Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6, MSN Messenger, Outlook Express, and more. Good times.

A lot has changed in the intervening 18(!) years, but one thing certainly hasn't: there's no shortage of questions about computers and technology.

It's "steady as she goes" for the forseeable future. Ask Leo! remains my excuse to keep playing with technology, and help a few folks along the way.

If you want to join the celebration, consider consider becoming a patron (if you're not already -- THANKS if you are!), or maybe just buy me a coffee or a beer. And even if not, of all the ways to support Ask Leo! even just sharing the newsletter with a friend, or passing the word in some other way helps immensely.

With luck and your support let's keep doing this for another 18 years, shall we?

This week's featured article

I got to my hotel room, tried to sign in to LastPass . . . and I couldn't.

What followed was some small frustration, some realization of how many ways I was covered no matter what, and ultimately understanding that it was really my own fault.

Whoops.

No Email from LastPass? Dealing with Sign-In Problems has the story.

Also this week:

• Neighbor using your IP address? If true, it's a bad thing.
• What it means to reformat a disk, and four ways to do it.
• The mystery of the moving mouse.

TEH Podcast

One more week off. Should be back on track next week.

Thanks, as always, for being here and for your ongoing support,
