I have been getting quite a few requests to send passwords to other e mail addresses, like if you are away from home, and want to log in.
For security reasons, I cannot do that.
Even if the e mail looks like your name, I just can't.
If I was bound and determined to get access to "johnjones" password and account on ifish, and I wasn't johnjones, I could go to Hotmail, create an e mail that looks like Johns... johnjones@hotmail.com. Then, I could send a letter to ifish, saying, "Look! It's me, johnjones, and I need my password mailed here.

No can do.

I know that most of the letters I get are for real, because I know the people, but I have decided to make very few exceptions, if any. I have to be certain, and I hope you can understand.

So.... If you are away from your main computer, and you need your password, follow these instructions:

You will need to know the e mail address you registered with, and password, in order to procede.

I'm so sorry.
I can't e mail passwords to any, but the address registered.
If you know your email user name and password, you may go to the registration page, click on login, then scroll down to the Lost Password area.
Fill that out.

The program will automatically send you your password.
Go then to an e mail pickup utility, such as:
http://www.mail2web.com, fill in your user name and password for that e mail account, and retrieve the password.
Thanks, and I hope this helps!
