You don’t have a password?
Nope, the PIN was all you needed to login until they added the SMS factor.
I keep telling financial institutions and utility companies that all I have is a landline, so that won’t work. Now they call me with codes or send an email, because the only other option I offer is for them to buy me a phone.
Ick, but still that’s better than just the PIN…
Looking at the PIN:
6 digits?
Can you change it?
How many times could you make a mistake before getting blocked?
Yep. 6 digits was considered sufficient until like 2 years ago. I almost changed banks over it.
Yes you can change it, and I have no idea what the lock-out time is cause I would prefer not to trigger it. It’s not publicly disclosed, as far as I can tell.
Ok, yeah, that’s a shitshow.
Forgot your passwords?
There’s a number you can call!
301-688-6311 - ask for Tim or Wendy.

Thank you for choosing the USPS team
It came from a phone number that started with 63, which seemed odd for the USPS. I typed into Google “country code 63,” which it turns out is the Philippines. And from the results that came up, apparently this scam is all the rage lately.
My wife and I have both gotten those.
Ditto, gotten a few of them.
Off-topic, but the names in the news in recent times - Luigi and Wagenius, Reality Winner, someone named Grimes having a kid named X Æ A-Xii - it’s almost like a weasel got trapped in the large hadron collider and everything’s been weirder than satire since then.
Today we got hit with this. Check your extensions folks!
