This weekend, Twitter/X went down for me. I have a lot of accounts I still use for business, comics and other things. It just locked up and froze. I mostly use it for news.
I stopped watching cable news awhile back, for various reasons and occasionally I watch local news. So Twitter/X is it.
I know it sounds stupid to say that, but I’m talking about seeing reputable sites for news and verifying it if I questions something.
Anyway, I removed the app from my iphone and reinstalled it and I had to one-by-one, add my separate accounts. So many had different passwords, because that’s what you’re supposed to do – have different passwords.
I did this three times – deleted it all, reinstalled it all and tried to remember all the passwords.
Luckily things worked out after all that, and it’s all working now. My X account related to my cartoons and this blog is Tomversation, if you’re interested. I also have accounts on Bluesky and Threads, and they are related to this blog and my comics, too.
But now my Chrome browser on my computer, lost all the passwords! I had them all in the password manager – maybe 60 of them! And they are gone.
I remember most of them, but still, it’s an issue to deal with.
I know, I know, it’s a first world problem. It’s interesting that when one thing goes, everything seems to go.
Years ago when I worked with typesetting and all sorts of newspaper equipment, that was always the case. If one machine went, they all went at the same time.
So far, hopefully not jinxing things, but all things are well, now.
