I recently went to a new specialist, and guess what? I have yet another portal to manage. Here is an inventory:
Bank Account
IRA Account
Investment Account
Internet Provider
Local Hospital
Primary Care Provider
Eye Doctor
Specialists (2)
Pharmacy
Wifes’ Bank
Social Security
Retirement Community Portal
Health Insurance Account
County Library
….I probably forgot some.
Is there an app or “portal” that helps one manage their portals? Could someone invent a Portal Manager?
I am fairly computer-literate, but this is getting ridiculous. I know many of my neighbors find managing their portals and all the required passwords most challenging.
I trust those who provide services benefit from developing a portal for their patients/customers, but it must cost them a small fortune.
I’d like to blame someone for this irritant: perhaps Bil Gates, Elon Musk, or better yet, Mark Zuckerberg!
Now that I have this off my chest, I need to upload this to my Substack Portal.
That’s 30…. (At least it’s not about politics!)
Do you think the portals provide a significant enhancement to privacy? Banks and health professionals seem to have adopted them wholesale. I hope it provides some measure of security at both ends of our messages.
Gotta laugh...even after spending my entire career as a software engineer, I am often flummoxed by these portals. No humans to talk to, save's $$$???, but raises my BP every time. I will get to work on the portal manager..
