Fucking Hotmail and fucking AIM. Two dumbasses.
So, I lost my AIM pwd the other day when the work hard drive died. No big deal right. Go to the website and say forgot pwd. It sends an email to my alternate account at Hotmail. Except they don’t tell me what the email sender will be or how to keep it from being spam blocked. Tweedle dumber, Hotmail, blocks the AIM pwd change emails. So, my pwd is effectively locked away from me with no way under the sun to retrieve it.
The Google hits mention calling them, but I don’t see an AIM support chat or email on their website and ALL the forgot pwd links go to the same useless screen. I had to do this last time and forced everyone to change/lose their links to me. This is a stupid reason to make new accounts and a reason NOT to use Hotmail. It’s good I get email through the blog account or I would just be screwed.
It kind of makes me want to create a 100,000 useless accounts on both sites.
Stupid $%$%#$#$%&*&^!!!!$%#%#$%$$%^%$%^&*&
AIM should mention that they can be block and what the email will come in as. They could also provide a secondary means to reset an account pwd, like oh everyone else on the Internet. I’ve never seen anyone else require a second email account to reset a pwd.
Hotmail should know what an AIM pwd reset account is. I’m sure they see at least two or three in a day. And let them through. What’s this shit about getting an email and not putting it in my junk mail box? How many emails have you completely blocked from me Hotmail? What’s a Junk box for?
Instead of rebuilding everything I think I will look at trading this one in and getting a new one. Until then I don’t have a proper computer. This is on the Mac Mini for the TV and there’s the work laptop, but I don’t really consider either one a good hometop.
