Old-Fashioned Setting Up a Password Manager
For this project you will need:
One computer
One full-featured browser
One pre-made email account, not shared and logged-in
2-5 possible passwords
5-10 accounts to get started with storing passwords.
Before you begin pre-load your computer, logging in to your email account. You can save later prep time by having your primary social media accounts, banking information, email account, and online bills ready to hand.
Go to bitwarden.com and select “create account”; be sure to select “free account” - you can jazz it up later but we’re learning the basics now.
Create the account using your primary email address as the login name and one long (but not complicated!) password that you are certain you can remember but is not widely shared online. This is a great way to use information about your favorite movies or songs, not a great place for your kid’s or pet’s names.
Set up your password hint with a good reminder; be sure to note any punctuation you added, for instance a comma to separate lines of a song or an exclamation point between words of a movie title.
Verify your email account with the password manager, then set up a new password for your email. You may need a phone or access to your extant 2FA tools for this step. Create a login in the password manager, add your email address, and generate a new password, then save the entry. Go to your email account, select “security” and “change password” - enter your old password to confirm then paste your new password manager generated password into the provided text boxes, and save. Log out of your email account, then log back in with your new password. You will need to do this on all of your devices, so make sure you’re using a password manager that is accessible across platforms - Bitwarden is recommended for a reason, this is a place where you don’t want to skimp when making substitutions!
Repeat the process of resetting passwords to taste; you don’t need to do everything all at once, but it’s best to start with a serving of 5-8 to get used to the process.
Time: 30min to 2hr DOE Expense: Literally Free Value: Priceless i never have to remember a fucking password again and now neither do you.
I meant to draw this back when I did this other doll comic as another side, to show a doll that had been cared for instead of abused, but somehow I wasn’t able to finish it till like 10 minutes ago, anyway I did it *confetti*
over christmas when i came out fully to my mom she did tell me i was beautiful and gave me some of her old jewelry and told me she was excited to have another daughter and that was all wonderful, but the part that meant the most to me was when i told her “i want to get my facial hair taken care of sooner than later, the whole "girl” thing is a lot easier to swallow when im shaved" and she examined my use of the phrase “it’s a lot easier to swallow” and said “Scout, I didn’t have a good relationship with my mother. you know that.” (i did know that, my grandma was NOT good to my mother) “but your grandma kim [friend of my grandma’s, unrelated by blood in any way, but was adopted as a grandma through familial osmosis] was the greatest woman who’s ever been in my life. and up until the day she died, she had a beard and a moustache [which is true, my grandma kim, a cis woman, had VERY thick facial hair]. if you kept your facial hair for the rest of your life i wouldnt think of you as less of a woman” and ya know what? THAT’S the part of her support that made me cry.
my grandma kim was an amazing woman and she had peach fuzz that she didnt give a FUCK about. and everyone loved her.
you can have your own fuzz too, and that doesn’t make you not a woman.
