Subject: Re: disable password prompts after upgrade
I read the screenshot then looked at my other "new" messages and found
it just showed up.  It's time stamped 5:06 MST.  The reply where you
said "You must have missed my second email... I explained how to fix
it." is time stamped 11:21 MST.    Apparently it got held up somewhere
for many hours. For the time being I'll blame it on Crowdstrike, Joe
Biden, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

I may try again this weekend. Thanks for your reply.
