    -Enter password

    -Get rejected

    -Solve CAPTCHA

    -Try backup passwords, get rejected

    -Request new password

    -Send request to 24 year old email

    -Try to log on to 24 year old email, email is suspicious and sends Authentication request to my newer email

    -Open newer email, Authenticate older email

    -open old email, Put in code to battle.net

      That just kept going. I feel you, but maybe try a password manager? You open it up, type blizzard and it tells you exactly what password you used. Even better, it can generate really good passwords for you.

      I use bitwarden.
