whereby you are asked to click on all the ones with parking meters, bridges or traffic lights. Most are hard to see and what if its only a small section of one or way off in distance. Does this count!

I probably have 25 usernames and passwords and often the computer will alert me that my password is “weak.” This is because it’s not advised to use the same password several times. In addition, you’re not supposed to write them down and leave them near your computer. These rules have long been broken and I can’t imagine if I can’t remember them or find them, that anyone else could either.
We are now advised to save them all online in a special Google password folder. What if I forget the password to access my passwords???
