Passwords are sent to test me. I am hopeless I acknowledge. Over the last weeks I have had several different passwords because I fail to produce the right one. I’ve tried to use one recommended to me by various readers of my blog but somehow I still fail to get it right the next time. I have an app on my iPad which is supposed to get it right for me but that’s gone native too now...it’s joined in to the confusion which I seem to spread around me as I go. Everyday when I start to type I am never sure that I can publish it ....eventually. I’m just rotten at these things and always have been but it has got worse since I turned 80. So every morning when I settle down to blog I am never sure that it’ll get published. Sometimes it takes several goes...I have yet to find the magic words to ensure it. So I am hopeless...I know this to be true...so why do I carry on? This is a question I ask myself daily...no answer arrives so I shrug my shoulders and go on. From my window I see the huge cruiser still parked over the water in Falmouth...somehow we have become part of the same problem...neither of us is moving....much. The "World" moored unmoving for months has become a symbol of my own stationary life. By this time I should be getting ready for my next cruise...but clearly I’m not....cruise ships everywhere are not going anywhere....so we are all in the same boat...a lockdown boat...this is not a problem...living here in rural Cornwall within sight of the sea makes me a very fortunate woman...but I do wonder how long we can all go on living this life of strange sterility where nothing much happens day by day. As I don’t need a password in order to live here then I can just go on...though right now I am once again wondering if I can get this blog posted... only one way to find out...fingers crossed! And everything else available.

Try writing in a word processor and saving in your computer: then you can have as many goes as you need getting into where you publish from to copy and paste it.
It's what I do if I'm writing something long winded that I'd lose my temper if I had to do again.
Best of luck with those gremlins - Saint Isidore of Seville is apparently the patron of the Internet and computers on account of having compiled the first encyclopaedia. He must be rarely busy praying for us technical incompetents in this virtual age *sigh*
You are not technically incompetent! Your software, being Apple IOS, is just incredibly emotional about security and expects you to have a memory for numbers mixed with symbols or characters, which some might find simple, but others, including me, rely on aps to store our passwords.
Increasingly two step authentication is needed and a text message or email with a pin code (increasing in difficulty) as hackers get more and more sophisticated in their attempts to high jack our data.
So, at least you are being protected from them, but the snage is a denial of your services for your own use.
You obviously overcame the obstacles as this blog was posted.
So far today. Wednesday I have failed to post a blog...no idea why....sorry. I’ll try again later!
