Beware of the Private tab on a Mac

[clockboy]

Thought I would share a small drama I had today. All of my established passwords did not seem to be working on my iPad. A lot of head scratching and expletives later. Found for some reason my Siri had changed to “ Private Tab”  the give away was the search header had a black background. 
Phew!!!!!

this is one of the irritations of the universe of having passwords having security and then having the computer decide it's not secure enough basically locking the user out because that's the most likely reason for security flaws yes the computer really does know best.

Had the same issue with my iPad. I thought about purchasing a new one already before I found the solution.

 I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.

Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.

There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

prescient, no?
