- ceejayoz 3y agoWhat about the historically common pattern of forgetting the password?
- lostmsu 3y agoI've seen companies ask you to enter any password that you remember.

It might make returns more difficult, but in some sense that’s a feature from their perspective, and in any case it’s just another entry in their master support call center flow chart

- explaininjs 3y agoSure, but I believe this predates Kindle. Either way, that’s a matter for the call center flow chart to handle. Not everything needs to be in software.
