I use Paypal whenever I can instead of entering my credit card number at
possibly not too secure web sites. Works great for me. You can recover your
password by going to http://www.paypal.com/ click on login. I've had to do
that before but now I keep a file of my various passwords so I have a place
to look when I'm hit with a senior moment.

Subject: [TechAssist] Pay Pal sucks
Last night My wife and I went to a web site order a board game.
I started the process of entering my name, business name, shipping
address,etc, then my wife's Mastercard. Clicked next to process.
Well... the fun begins.
"We have detected you have a Pay Pal account!"
Then a page flips up requesting all the Pay Pal info, passwords,etc.
Now, back months ago I started a Pay Pal account that I never used.
Didn't like it.
My wife also opened one to order collede books.
The site detected my account due to my business address used and her
account due to her Mastercard number we used.
What a mess. It simply went in loops, not allowing me to just give the
card, order the game, and take my freakin money!
Since we were at work here, we didn't have any of the password info.
Never could pay for the darn thing.
Hyperlinked to Paypal. No help there.
So, all you technogeeks who swear by this PayPal thing, you can have it.
I'm sorry I ever opened that account.
