Companies holding my personal data have been hacked so many times it doesn't even matter anymore.

The downvotes are because your "solution" is not based in the reality that the rest of us live in.

They had been collected from various ISP provided modems and routers I've purchased over the years.

After seeing that my wireless speeds were much faster than the speeds I was getting over Ethernet, I decided to invest in some new cables. I didn't know it before, but I saw while I was changing them out that my current cables were Cat 5e. While putting my network together, I had just been grabbing whatever cables I could find in my scrap drawers. Now I have Cat 8 cables and my speeds jumped from 7MB/s to an average of over 40MB/s. It's a much bigger improvement than I expected, especially for such a small investment.

It doesn't even suck that bad. Last time I had to unlock mine, I saw that the previous unlocking had been two years earlier. Each time I have to do it, I set an end date and it automatically relocks. Whole process takes maybe 10 minutes for the big 3 credit bureaus.

I was wrong. It wasn't the forgotten password link. It was one of those sites that sent a login link instead asking for a password when you put in your username. That changed once I set up 2FA.

For a few months, I had been getting emails from booking.com saying that I had forgotten my password. Probably scammers with my Gmail username futilely attempting to use the forgotten password link to get at stored payment info. Once I set up 2FA on the account, the emails stopped.
