TeeGee's Bog

I think Google is deliberately annoying me. I first noticed this issue with the Google Talk client. I allow the client to store my password, so it can sign me in automatically, which it does, most of the time. Some times, however, it refuses to sign in and gives me an 'Invalid Password' error. Really? From a stored password? If I retype (my rather lengthy) password, the client happily signs in, and I can continue with my life.

I have been using gtalk for quite a long time, and never had the issue. Then it started happening every few days or so, and then it stopped doing it for months at a time, and now it happens again. It never does it to me with the Miranda client I use while at work, and it hasn't happened to me on my Droid.

It seems, now, that the issue has migrated to the web sign in facility.

I have a LOT of Google Accounts, so it stands to reason that I let my browser store the password for my accounts to make the sign in process less painful. In the last short while or so, particularly with this "new" sign in system, I am getting the same damned issue. I can understand them invalidating my cookie for GMail so that I have to sign in again, but then NOT accepting my auto-filled in password? Really? So now I have to re-type the stupid thing there too.

Why, Google, why?
