Dr. Bob wants us to use our regular names and Deputy Regular Name. Which is fine if that's what he wants.
But it's causing computer problems that make it such a pain in the neck to post as Dinah, that I usually just give up and discard my post.
I'm blocking cookies from here, but my Password Manager (the free one that comes either with windows or my internet browser) usually fills in my password. But now it's only filling in the password if I type in Deputy Dinah. It's leaving the box blank for Dinah. Since my password isn't easily remembered, I have to go open programs and cut and paste which also isn't working too well and I keep getting error messages. So unless I'm posting several posts at once, and have the password in my cut and paste thingy, it is a huge hassle.
I'm getting a new computer next week, with a fingerprint reader (sure hope that's reliable) that I assume is associated with some sort of password program. Will that fix my problem? Will it be able to do two logins for the same site?
If not, is there anything I can do to make it easier to post?

I thot we didn't have to block cookies anymore?
My name just appears, so it must be the cookies...
Maybe have a file on your desktop w/the password in it? Easier to get at?
Or use two diff desktops and just switch users as opposed to logging off each time?

Sorry, I don't know. But I always like the idea of putting a password on a post-it and sticking it to the monitor. Or I keep it on a piece of paper in my desk. Problem is I never label what password goes to what site, so I end up with lots of passwords that I have no idea what they go to.

Hopefully my new computer setup will fix this.
