Netflix Makes Passwords Hard

161 words.

Because Netflix forced me to change my password into something that was easy to enter with a remote control into a television interface-since my television invariably asks me to re-enter said password every month for no apparent reason-I have now forgotten what my Netflix password is, and apparently LastPass never updated when I changed it. I’ve now been waiting about ten minutes for them to send me the password reset email. Come on Netflix. This is basic IT functionality here.

UPDATE: Oh, and the reason I need a password is because I am attempting to log into my account on my Android phone, because the Netflix app for the iPad is so terrible that it almost never actually plays videos.

Although it could always be Verizon blocking Netflix video, because of that whole Net Neutrality thing we don’t have anymore. Thanks Verizon. Glad you’re at the forefront of making U.S. Broadband Access so terrible compared to the rest of the world.
