Last circle of hell: Tracking all of our passwords

A couple of months ago, while settling the fare with a cab driver, my cellphone slipped out of my pants' pocket. I didn't ask for the receipt, and by the time I realized what had happened the cab was gone.

After kicking myself for not being more careful, I began the long, arduous task of resetting all of my passwords, for everything from to banking and social media to e-mail and travel apps.

I had trouble creating new passwords for some of the accounts, since I used an old e-mail address I no longer checked to register them. And since I hadn't used that e-mail account in years, I had, of course, forgotten the password.
