I ended up deciding not to randomize my email address at https://box.com/ because the email address is the sharing key for collaborators and that would be too confusing. But while I was there I noticed a few unfortunate things worth mentioning about the site. First, this banner appears on free accounts, but in fact free accounts have access to 2-factor authentication, as they absolutely should. (continued) #ChangeOfAddress 🧵
I changed my email address in the Athena Health patient portal. A message there said that after changing my address I wouldn't be able to "log into this page again" until I was reregistered and they would send me instructions. And indeed, now I can't log in at all with the new address and when I log in with the old address my profile doesn't come up. But I haven't received any instructions. Is it a bug, or do I have to wait until somebody in the office sends it by hand? 🤷 #ChangeOfAddress 🧵
When I was with a previous health insurance company I participated in a "wellness program" run by a company called Bravo Wellness. I still have an account on their web site, but since I'm no longer eligible to participate in the program, when I log into it all I see is a page saying I'm not currently eligible. They have no posted privacy policy, no way to request the deletion of my data, and no way for me to edit my account to change my email address. #ChangeOfAddress 🧵
I changed my email address on a Workday job board, and there were issues with the notifications: * Both emails claim there will be a link following the text "Link:". There isn't. * The formatting (right padding) of the email is screwed up. * "You will not be able to reset your password during this 2 hour verification window," so if someone really has tried to change your address without authorization, you can't reset your password! 🤡 #ChangeOfAddress 🧵
