Why Greg hates the forum

Excellent. Are you moving into your post-luddite phase?

The trick we tend to use at work is to open a new Private Browsing window and try again™. That should bypass any local cookies/storage and tends to fix weird web issues...

No.

Whew! I'm glad some things remain constant.

Today I couldn't log in because I had forgotten my password. Good times.

I started using a password program and it's great. I use LastPass - it's free. You only need to remember that password for it, so you can use crazy difficult ones for everything else.

[Greg]

I have keychain but for some reason it didn't work today.

I use "password1" for everything.

I cleverly added the 1 to it to make it more difficult for people to guess.

I use "password1" for everything.

I have a password vault program for work called 1password. I don't use it but I should.

[cranefly]

Actually I use Chrome's free built-in password manager.  I didn't for a long time, but started getting nervous about how much foreign adversaries know about us and are just waiting for a provocation to unleash chaos on our financial system.

Hoping it's good enough...

[Drunk Monk]

I use that too.

Password keepers are a must.

Apple's iCloud Keychain is great if you are using the same iCloud account on all of your devices, but I'm not, so it's actually a PITA for me. I use 1Password as we also get it thru work, but 1Password went to a subscription model which annoys me. 

Here's some reviews of various password keeper options if any one is interested

I was getting tired of having to delete the cache in my tablet every few days just so I could watch trailers, so I switched to Firefox on my tablet and the trailers work.

Yay, Firefox!

I'm currently trying to upgrade to the latest version of the forum to hopefully fix the invisible video problem. It's not going smoothly.
