I clicked ‘Forgot Password’ as I always had. I use different passwords all the time and I forgot which one I had used most recently for Google. Then imagine that one day, you get locked out after forgetting your password.Ībout a month ago, I went to sign into Google. You rely on their mail and calendar, Google Drive for storage and Google Photos for your photo archive.
Imagine you have spent much of your digital life for the last 12 years on Google. When you lose your password, it’s not that simple - as I found out. If you think back to earlier times where, say you lost your bank book, your local banker probably knew who you were and could help you navigate the process of getting it replaced. How much of your digital life would you lose if you lost a single password? Without it, you are locked out and the cold reality of using free cloud services like Google is that you don’t have a human arbiter to help you.
