Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : Speaking of cookies...

[Tim Greer]

Speaking of cookies... I'm a moron. I was testing something on my system, changed the date forward a few years and when using a program I hit a button (mistakenly) that tried to open my browser. Well, there went any cookies entries I had that would expire after 2 or 3 years... WHT looked a little different all of the sudden. I wonder what other cookies I lost that would make things inconvenient to try and recall what email addressed I have in site's databases for retrieving the password I no longer have in my cookie file. DOH! :-)

a password manager for such mishaps

http://www.webattack.com is a great place to look for one

Cookie Pal is a good one. It's only $15 to register. It'a available at TUCOWS or kburra.com

I think it would be cheaper and better for me, to just think before I do, next time. It wasn't a big deal, but if I do care for future reference, I'll just backup that file before I make such a stupid mistake again. :-)
