Email & Social Media Two Factor Authentication Sign-in Risk!
The concept of 2 factor authentication is good in theory, where you log-in and then receive a security code via text msg to your mobile to complete the log-in process.
Here is the problem: If you lose your mobile you won’t be able to complete the 2-factor log-in. When this happens you get locked out. You will be offered an option if you can’t receive the texted code. They will offer to send a one-time, 1 hour only password reset link to your “recovery” email inbox. Do you even remember what other email address you used as the recovery email to set up the currently unavailable account? If you remember, is it still active? If the recovery email is no longer accessible you will not be able to retrieve the password reset link it contains. At that point you are locked out of the account demanding 2-factor sign-in and it will require many days and emails to support to get back in, and often you will simply be told to make a new account. Unless you are willing to lose all content on your social media, or all your emails and contacts, you need to heed this warning!
Before you encounter this situation do yourself a favor and check all your email and social media account Settings, confirm the recovery email address is current and accessible. While you are in Settings, copy off all the other ID and account info. Facebook often demands your date of birth or location as a security step. If you used a fudged DOB or now have a new location, you’ll want those old answers saved somewhere in case you need them. If you are having trouble with this make an appointment and we can go over it together.

Info Wanted: Does anyone know anywhere in the Axarquía where you can get strong wholemeal bread flour and redbush tea?
The flour probably needs to be an English brand such as Dove’s, Marriages, Allinsons etc as I have been told by my herbolistería that no Spanish brands exist. I would need 10 or 12 bags at a time, so if anyone knows any shop that could order it even if they don’t normally stock it, that would be helpful to know.
I am also looking for Redbush teabags in boxes of 80, Tetley’s, Tick Tock or similar, if again anyone knows any shop that could get these for me.
I have tried Arkwrights in Puente don Manuel, but they are unable to get either of these items for me.
Thanks in advance for your help. Wendy/sedella

Drug Expiration Dates — Do They Mean Anything? By The Harvard Medical School, updated August 13, 2018.
The big question is, do pills expire? With a splitting headache, you reach into your medicine cabinet for some aspirin only to find the stamped expiration date on the medicine bottle is more than a year out of date. So, does medicine expire? Do you take it or don’t you? If you decide to take the aspirin, will it be a fatal mistake or will you simply continue to suffer from the headache?
It turns out that the expiration date on a drug is the date at which the manufacturer can still guarantee the FULL potency and safety of the drug.
Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date.
A rare exception to this may be tetracycline, but the report on this is controversial among researchers. It’s true the effectiveness of a drug may decrease over time, but much of the original potency still remains even a decade after the expiration date. Excluding nitroglycerin, insulin, and liquid antibiotics, most medications are as long-lasting as the ones tested by the military. Placing a medication in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, will help a drug remain potent for many years.
Is the expiration date a marketing ploy by drug manufacturers, to keep you restocking your medicine cabinet and their pockets regularly? You can look at it that way. Or you can also look at it this way: The expiration dates are very conservative to ensure you get everything you paid for. And, really, if a drug manufacturer had to do expiration-date testing for longer periods it would slow their ability to bring you new and improved formulations.
