Life was so much easier before the password was created. Coming from what is now the older generation, I will admit that the special characters, numbers and capital letters do nothing but complicate my life. Add a username with said characters, and my mind automatically shuts down. I understand that usernames and passwords have come to the forefront for the sake of progress. However, how many other identities have I allowed to be attached to my being?
Becoming who I am today has taken 63 years of character-building ups and downs in life. I want to be known for who I am created to be. Know me for my joys and my scars. Know me by my victories and my losses. I have no desire to change the password to identify myself. I am not ready to be identified by a little plastic card in my wallet or who the world says I should be.
