Login and Passwords

Posted on by

Amazing, how many times I am (and forced to) change my passwords, even if totally and just a day old, and no matter how many websites and businesses- except my Banks, they always work more or less consistently. But the worst is Word Press on iPad. Wasting too much time on password changing and fooling around instead of being productive. Plus writing on Apple iPad and this automatic filling in words – some ending up like idiotic “what are you talking about ?”.

UPDATE. How to quick fix endless requests for new passwords: On Windows I am using a document (sorry, difficult to hack) containing lists of complicated passwords. If another new one is required, I simply COPY and PASTE it. Easier than try invent new ones all the time. Maybe that’s dumb, but we’ll see. Point is, keyboards are very sensitive, and often users with compromised finger touch miss a key. Hence, a NEW password is required.

Word Press on Apple iPad

I mostly write my posts on my Windows PC, no problems. However, when traveling I need to construct a post using my iPad Air 2.  It’s nice, convenient, mobile, but not as easy. Firstly, I could not get any access to Word Press, because – haven’t been using it for some time –  to access my Word Press sites was impossible, as the last update has been 14.7.1. That was 2021. After trying multiple approaches, I found out that Word Press needed at least update version 15.

The real reason has been that in 2021 I had temporarily lost my Wifi on my iPad and therefore needed to reset the entire IOS system to factory settings, dating back to 2015. (Of course first unloading all my stored photos and uploading to my PC.) Which even resulted in a much nicer system.

To make it short. The other day I downloaded all missing versions, if there were more than one, to my iPad. Took a long time, but “the bugger did it.”. Was I lucky to have bought the latest and 64GB version of it in 2015.

And now, finally get into my Word Press posts again. Only difference is, that they changed my login ID, and my former password also does not work anymore. Plus, on iPad after starting a new post, and switching to Classic Editor, the post may not publish. Also, sharing your post on Facebook and LinkedIn may be more difficult with using the Classic Editor, because of the permanent link needed to share posts.
