Recently my GOTOMYPC installation at home developed dementia. It refused to acknowledge me remotely or in person. It kept sending me to time out asserting that I got the password wrong.

(I use ROBOFORM so I never forget passwords! And, every password is unique and complex and long. There are only a few online baking passwords that are true passwords. That is a shared secret. Not even ROBOFORM knows them. I’m a programmer. I know what can be done. I trust NO ONE that completely. Note to Pete: The online baking passwords, the ROBOFORM password, and other key passwords are in my safe. And, I told you where I have hidden the combination to that. See I trust NOBODY. Not even Pete, completely. Hope he can clean up my mess when I die. I’ll just have to be extra nice to him while I’m alive. Maybe he won’t say those special Irish prayers [aka bad words] after I’m dead.)

Any way, I asked for supprt and after a half a day I got a canned answer. I sent them a snotty gram in reply. (It was late and I was tired.) And, they responded saying “call them”. (Yeah, right. Like I am up for a good session of “please listen carefully because our menus have recently changed”. Running a restaurant? call ’em what?) So I “pressed 1” and went to bed.

This morning it magically works.

Hmmm, I am sure that the support folks did something. This doesn’t inspire confidence in its security, its availability, or its usefulness.
