Answer to Elaine’s Question
Sorry forgot my Password ! ! (1 Password database corrupt and changed email address since ! !)
stargatejohn
Brilliant John … my backup will now be complete. You are a total star
I’m sure we can do something with your original account … the admins have the power … or at least I think we do, LOL I’ll go have a look and see if we can restore you to your former glory
Yep, got my 1Password back as well
Thank god for the iPhone version ! !
Great news!!
I notice johnstargate has an avatar … do we need a campaign for stargatejohn to get one too? *sign me up*
BTW re 1Password … did I mention the benefits of backing up? *ducks*
You Can, and as a good techie I did, but that failed as well, so lucky the iPhone can be counted as a backup as well ! ! lol.
