For a few months, I had been getting emails from booking.com saying that I had forgotten my password. Probably scammers with my Gmail username futilely attempting to use the forgotten password link to get at stored payment info. Once I set up 2FA on the account, the emails stopped.
Many of us have this choice made for us.
Real poo for my sham friends.
They’re the worst.
To be fair, a lot of things can get you assaulted in Philly.
Add a few letters to afraid_of_zombies and it’s an anagram of Andy Kaufman. Coincidence?..
I was wrong. It wasn’t the forgotten password link. It was one of those sites that sent a login link instead asking for a password when you put in your username. That changed once I set up 2FA.
