So, a few months ago, I changed my AIM password, out of security fears. had recently had his Yahoo account jacked. So, I picked a secure password. Like so many of my passwords, it was based of a memorable (and obscene) phrase. I can remember the phrase, but I can no longer remember where I substituted numbers for letters, inserted capitalization, etc. And apparently, whatever email I registered it under is no longer around. So, time for a new aim id. Enh, oh well. My “buddies” list was over crowded anyway.
I’ll “frag” you anytime you like, babe!
Heh. Thanks. =)
I’ve been in the same jam before. It sucks mightily.
Enh, it’s not so bad. At least it makes my naming scheme more consistent.
I did that once… but it was for a log-in code for a computer.
That didn’t end well.
You can sometimes recover these passwords on windows. What OS are you using? I always assumed you’re a Mac guy, but eh? gaim/trillian/aim?
Adium for my mac. I’m polyplatformerous. =)
Sadly, the client seems to have lost the password. Hence why it all came to a head.
nonono. no aim. it doesn’t allow for offline messaging. use yahoo or ICQ instead.
I do. =)
AIM is just the one where I have more people.
Actual quote from a former boss:
“They changed my medication and now I can remember my passwords!!!”
Can or can’t? Can would be funnier. (In the context of a joke, would you expect change to be for the better?)
Can. 🙂
Poop. It sucks to lose a friends list, but at the same time, at least it was only AIM.
That also reminds me that my friend’s Yahoo account was jacked a while ago, too. She was pretty angry about it, a lot more than I would have guessed.
