    In defense of ‘the computer forgot my password’ guy I’m sure we’ve all experienced the following sequence.

    • Incorrect password
    • Go to change password
    • New password cannot be the same as the old password

      I would interpret ‘the computer forgot my password’ as someone accidentally getting logged out of their password manager

      **

      • Go to change password
      • They also don’t know the password of the email address the reset email is sent to

        This struggle is real. Except I forget which email address I used because I use a lot of aliases.

        Normally my password manager would handle it but sometimes there’s re-branding and a new domain and the password manager can’t figure it out.
