[ale] help - how do I log into learnstreet without ...

If you really know what is going on paranoia is a good thing.

“Who gives a crap” might describe some sites for the world at large but if you took the time to setup an account on them chances are you DO give a crap.

I used to use the same password at many sites but have seen enough cautionary tales of how people were able to hack some pretty high profile stuff by hacking or social engineering to get low profile information.

Ron, your level of paranoia is becoming disturbing. I'm not trying to be mean or attacking, but seriously, this is sounding a bit nutty to me.

So you now have a zillion different web accounts that are TOTALLY unlinked except that you use them. They all have a different password.

53

_separate_

logins

all so you can use lastpass and never remember any of the passwords. Have you not heard of having classes of passwords? Some really strong ones for banking sites. Some moderate ones for stuff that matters but is not a crisis. And some "who gives a crap" logins and passwords for stuff that is not really relevant. like a crap twitter or gmail or faceplant account so you can access a programming tutorial site.

So you can't use the learnstreet site. bummer

Maybe a gmail account named ronlearnstreet is too easy as you clearly like to do it the hardest way possible. You never use it for email. It's only used to access learnstreet. Still only one password per account. It's just you have to login on gmail.

learnstreet looks to be (mostly) free. So you give some tracking data for classes. With a bogus email account, so what?

Unless you are using a windows machine, it's pretty easy to dump tracking crap.

Unless you are using a windows machine....

hmmm...

windows user?

Hi James,

Thanks for the link.  I looked over it briefly.  However, I specifically DON'T want the logins from different sites interacting with each other.  That's why I spent 2 days putting 53 separate logins into lastpass.  I want every site to have different credentials.  That way, if one is compromised, it doesn't affect the others.

Sincerely,

Ron

Help!  How do I log into learnstreet without a login on google, twitter,
facebook, or github?  I can't figure out how to register / sign in.  I don't
use any of those services.

(Yes I have a gmail account that I never use that I had to set up for my
Android tablet.  I don't like to give that login / email to anyone.)

Sincerely,

Ron
