Yet having your phone stolen, which is usually worse than that, is super easy, and if you’re being mugged, the criminal will also force you to remove the pin/lock because that takes less than a minute.

why is life like this?
Because someone else getting access to your email account nowadays is worse than losing your wallet, phone and keyring, combined.

Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated, which it is.

I locked myself out of my main email account once.
I had set it up in the year 2000, when people didn’t have mobile phones, so they sent a letter to your home address before they activated it.
In the meantime, I had moved 11 times, updated my personal info on the site a few times, but never added a phone number or recovery mail address.
So when I called the hotline and they asked me for my address to confirm I’m me, that was a hard one to answer. But I actually got it right in the second try, which was good enough.

The new issue is that I don’t remember the password for DICK. I know the password to like, my password manager, on a good day.
There are like 500 other passwords I have to sift through to sign into anything

Isn’t that what a password-manager should solve?
