I hope that's because your good lady never buys frozen, bottled, processed or pre-cooked veg.

Same problem persisting on other sites. Andy, thanks for this link. It's a massive document and will probably take time to read all the parts that are relevant to me but it's not too difficult to understand - even for me. I've already learned that I need to improve my passwords and there are some good tips for doing so. I'd advise everyone to read it - or at least those parts that apply to just them personally.

Got it! I think ... Should it be;

That one might take even longer!

If you only knew just how much time I've spent trying to solve that rebus!😠

I'm afraid I spoke too soon! It's logged me out again and asked if I want my password saved again when I logged in!!

Yippee!!!! Success. It didn't log me out this time. Let's hope it continues. Now I'll try some other log-ins elsewhere. Thanks for all your patience and help guys!

Same problems until 5 minutes ago when I got a notification from Bedlington.com.uk regarding another account with the same email as my google account and asking me to link them. Done! and now seems to be working fine on this site. I'll just switch off and switch on again to see if it continues. No. I was logged out and had to sign in again. I've saved my password AGAIN on request and will see what happens next. Grandson coming on Sunday to have a look at the problem.

... but it's close, so I'll let you have a point.

The ostrich I understand - but the Under 15s Football Team?????? Where do they fit into the rebus?

Today another pop-up appeared: We need to fix your Microsoft-account (your password has presumably been changed). Click here to fix it in Settings for Shared experiences. (my translation). Could this have anything to do with it?

continued: I usually use the browser for passwords that aren't vitally important and not used often. Some, like Bedlington.co.uk, which I use frequently but don't give access to personal/private or sensitive details (bank etc.), I usually just leave myself logged in so it's irritating to have to repeat the whole process every time. Having said that, this log in worked fine using the browser procedure but I hadn't logged out. It seems to do that for me whenever I switch off the computer wether I want it to not. A password manager sounds like a good idea. I'll use the link you provided once I'm finished with today's work to see what I can do. Yo.u may get questions if that's OK

Just wait till you're in your seventies young man! Only joking, Andy! You are right, of course but it's not easy for someone who only found out what a computer was having already hit the 50 mark and since then has had a service department of rank who answered my every query and sorted out every problem that I've ever encountered. Neither does it help that I don't possess one single iota av interest in anything more technical than a ball-point pen.

I also use Windows 10 and have Google saving my passwords but since the last update, about 10 days ago, I've had nothing but problems with logging in, particularly this site. I've had to log in to everything that I normally never log out of - bedders for instance - and save the password . However, everytime I switch on the computer I have to repeat the whole process. I've followed all your excellent instructions, Eggy, and "Offer to save passwords" was already enabled. Over the last week I've had countless pop-ups telling me that I need to change my passwords - which I've done - and I can see in Settings that the new passwords have been saved. I keep a file on the computer with all mine and a paper copy in a drawer in the kitchen. But, it's a bit of a beggar having to go and fetch it every time I need it (in another room or on a device that's not synchronised). Eggy's idea of a memory stick sounds like something we both could use. It could be kept on a keyring.

I could do with some help remembering all my various numbers. My computer is in chaos since the last uppgrade and I now have to log in every time i visit a site - despite asking for my details to be remembered. I seem to remember 3g once giving some tips about having all Pin numbers saved under one PIN number (or have I dreamed about it?). Does anybody have any experience of and/or can recommend anything useful - but not too complicated?

I'm sure you would, Vic! The amount of bird seed you'd be using would be astronomical!

Consider yourself chastised! I'll be expecting an apple on my desk first thing Monday morning.
