“Passwords Suck” as published in Magic

“Using passwords is a nightmare. No one wants to memorize yet another passphrase when our heads are already filled with them. Passwords are a huge vector for security breaches precisely because they place the burden of choosing unique and secure secrets on the user, who just can’t be bothered. We end up having one password for all the important stuff like banking, work, and school, one for the social-medias, and one for all the miscellaneous one-off services we don’t care too much about. The result is that a whopping 59% of people reuse their passwords across services, which means a leak anywhere quickly becomes a liability for the whole web.” DH (The initials are merely coincidental. Really.)

The foregoing is so true. We knew it before we took over Daniel Hopsicker’s accounts. Now we FEEL it intensely.

FIRST WAS THE AMAZON ACCOUNT. Have you ever wondered how Daniel made his living? Yes, yes, he was a writer, but a writer without a publisher. His friend Kris Millegan, of course, gives credit  to Daniel for getting him into the publishing business.

But if you look at the copyright page of “Barry and ‘the boys’,” it gives the publisher as Mad Cow Press. That was Daniel. He held his copyright through a dba.

If you ordered Daniel’s work from this website, on the order tab, using a credit card of any type, it was paid directly to Daniel. But if you preferred to order through Amazon, he made that possible as well. The thing was, Amazon takes a huger chunk of your money, so the prices may not have been the same.

But in either instance…I’m starting to think this is much more than anyone wants to know, but…Daniel received word of the sale through email, then had to interrupt his real work–researching drug trafficking–to sign the book, put it in an envelope and paste or tape a label on it. That became more and more difficult in the last year as one medical problem after another surfaced. Then, shortly before he entered hospice, his book supply ran out.

Anyway, passwords.

When you We cannot fulfill your Amazon Orders.have two or three intrepid souls trying to fulfill book orders, it means they have to share passwords. In the process, somebody changes one, and then another person can’t use it. On and on–like that. Amazon locked us out. It’s the nature of passwords. Our only recourse is to cancel Daniel’s Amazon account. 

Possibly at some future date his work may again be available through that source, but it won’t be soon. But hey, it’s just as easy to come to this website, hit the order tab and pay by credit card. If anyone reading this has tried and failed to get your books or videos this way, just call the number at the Order Tab. We apologize profusely for any snafus.
