Guessing passwords

I’m at the Apple store at the moment, and I forgot the password to my account: now there’s a possibility that my battery repair cannot be completed today. I hope it still gets done though. I can’t believe that in this day and age, we are still dealing with the issue of remembering passwords. I thought we’d gotten past that at this point in time. Why can’t the computer just remember it for me, or have the Face ID thing take over? I guess at the end of the day, physical passwords are still the most secure option for computing. Faces change and heck, even fingerprints may get unreliable with injury to the fingers. 

But now it’s just a matter of waiting for the password reset to be sent. I think at the end of the day, I will be fine and they will be able to return the phone to me by the closing at 8PM. That sort of means, however, that I will have a few hours with nothing to do, and I will not have a phone to keep me distracted. It’s like traveling back in time. I wonder how I’m going to handle it. Luckily, I picked a good location in downtown Los Angeles with plenty to do and a multitude of restaurants nearby, so I’ll be able to fully enjoy myself for the next hour or so. Also, I’ve got this Freewrite on me, so I’ll probably jot down a blog here and here as well. 

I was just thinking how earlier today I had another tennis match. This guy was actually pretty good, probably the best one that I’m going to end up playing in the league that I’m currently assigned to. I still won in straight sets, but he had a set point on me and started to fade. I don’t think he was that great under pressure, and he’s about fifteen years older than me, so I don’t really know how well he was holding up physically. 

However, back to the password thing. I’m just curious, where is the best place to store one’s passwords? I have an app that ostensibly can save the passwords of other accounts for me, but that may require a password in and of itself. It seems kind of counterintuitive to save something in a place that requires another version of the information. There’s something ridiculous about that sentiment. Anyways, the waiting period for my password reset is almost over, and I can finally get on with it.
