This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because someone else getting access to your email account nowadays is worse than losing your wallet, phone and keyring, combined.
Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated and secure, which it is.
I locked myself out of my main email account once.
I had set it up in the year 2000, when people didn't have mobile phones, so they sent a letter to your home address before they activated it.
In the meantime, I had moved 11 times, updated my personal info on the site a few times, but never added a phone number or recovery mail address.
So when I called the hotline and they asked me for my address to confirm I'm me, that was a hard one to answer. But I actually got it right in the second try, which was good enough.
The new issue is that I don't remember the password for DICK. I know the password to like, my password manager, on a good day.
There are like 500 other passwords I have to sift through to sign into anything
Isn't that what a password-manager should solve?
