In summary, "Guess I missed something" is a commonly used phrase in informal conversations and written communication to express that the speaker has realized they were mistaken or have overlooked something important. It is not appropriate for formal settings and can also be used sarcastically to express frustration or surprise.

I finally retired a couple of months back - and I've noticed that I no longer know my password for PF.
I had the information encrypted on my work computer. Heh. It is toast now.

There used to be a way to get an email with a temp password. I do not seem to be able to do that.
Help. I'd like to change it.
