Hawaii governor couldn’t warn public of missile ‘crisis’ because he forgot password

The governor of Hawaii wanted to inform the public that they would not die in a ballistic missile attack — but he forgot his Twitter password.

Gov. David Ige said Sunday that he could not access his Twitter account on the morning of Jan. 13 — while Hawaiians were reeling after receiving the false emergency missile alert on their cellphones.

“I have to confess that I don’t know my Twitter account log-ons and the passwords,” Ige said, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

“So certainly that’s one of the changes that I’ve made. I’ve been putting that on my phone so that we can access the social media directly.”

How hard it is to remember "Mele Kalikimaka"  They said that was his PW.
j/k  His password was P-A-S-S-W-O-R-D

I hate to tell this idiot that even if he Twitted out some information, there is no guarantee anyone would see it. Hardly anyone uses Twit.

He should just have a post-it of the password on his screen, like the other Hawaiian officials.



Besides, how hard is it to remember 'Book3mDann0'....?
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Dummy!
Why didn't you keep a post-it note with the password handy, like the rest of the workers in the office?
