Merlin and ebird require logins. People are having trouble with both, and some have lost lots of recordings with the recent upgrade.

I deleted Merlin some time back when the phone’s memory filled up.

People are displeased in more cases than I care to see. Maybe they’re good, but I never record. I photograph, and ID that way. When I can see them!

Every account is an attack surface, and my eye doctor is hounding me to create a portal login, as is the auto dealer. Portals were a new idea over 20 years ago. Security has gotten tougher to do. A ton tougher.

KC got hacked badly.

And even my ex got credit card info stolen.
