PSA on forgetting your password!

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but I didn't see a website issues forum, so here it is!  A couple weeks ago, I got logged out (my new computer did it. lol) and I couldn't remember my password.  I tried several different versions of passwords I use, but the system locks you out after a few tries. Then, I came back a couple days later and clicked on the Forgot Password link at the login.  It said it sent me an email to reset my password, however, I never received such email. I checked all my email accounts and my spam folders.  I did this twice about a week apart. Luckily, I finally hit on the right password combination to get back in today, but there was no easy way to reset my password...system isn't working?  Just thought I should let somebody know!  (I even messaged in the "Contact Us" section of the shop, but didn't get a reply as I presume there are different people monitoring that than monitor the forums?)

 

Glad to be back in! LOL

If it happens again keep trying to contact them- they will catch up with you- and posting here  someone will also help you. I finally started keeping a booklet of my passwords since getting older I could not remember them all and yes, there are times when the correct password doesn't work on some sites (the bank) but it keeps me on my toes!

Well, see, I couldn't post on here without my password/account. ;)  It wanted me to make a new account, but I couldn't with my email. lol   I have a booklet, but apparently I didn't write this one down. LOL  

It would be helpful if sites would let you know their password requirements when you forget.  Like "Hint:  your password requires a capital letter, a number, and a special character." :)  I use the same passwords on most sites, but get tripped up when there is a different requirement. Haha!

@Art_Teacher  I did get your email this morning, but with it being a weekend I'm not always near a computer and was out of town until about 20min ago.  I came in and was going to look into it but I see you did get back in.

Glad you got back in and I'll look into the issue.

Thanks

Thanks!  I get it. Just wasn't sure why I never got the reset email, because I assume it's automatic?  Wanted to let somebody know, in case others have the issue. :)
