In defense of 'the computer forgot my password' guy I'm sure we've all experienced the following sequence.

  • Incorrect password
  • Go to change password
  • New password cannot be the same as the old password

I would interpret 'the computer forgot my password' as someone accidentally getting logged out of their password manager

**

  • Go to change password
  • They also don't know the password of the email address the reset email is sent to

*idk how to format

This struggle is real. Except I forget which email address I used because I use a lot of aliases.

Normally my password manager would handle it but sometimes there’s re-branding and a new domain and the password manager can’t figure it out.

I've had this happen with a password manager too so I know its not just me.

I'm sorry to tell you this so hastily but everyone else is a bot, it is just you and everything you've experienced is completely unique to you.
