60 and Over
I managed to bang my hand the other day and was in (minor) pain for a day or so. I was able to go about my regular business but when I tried to log in to TER, I had trouble. My password is almost 100% "muscle memory" and not written down or saved with hints or in secret code anyplace at all. I was able to "remember" the keystrokes for one hand, but the painful hand had forgotten most of its job assignment! I had most of the rhythm (brain?), but not the exact notes (muscle?):
a b c, da da da-x, e f, da da-y - I was getting my a b c's in the wrong order, etc.
.
Even tho' my brain tracks my password every time I type it, it didn't fully remember it!
Fortunately, everything came back after 24 hrs or so.
.
I did remember other passwords I needed for other non-TER sites. Those are sites I access from many different computers and keyboards, tablets, and phones so I need MORE than just muscle memory for those sites. My brain was able to tell my fingers what to do in those cases.
.
For you other Over 60s out there, write down your password someplace in case you run into the same situation I did.

Help! Where are my glasses?! ... Oh, ... they're on my face. ... Never mind.
