Dear GoodReads: Don’t friggin’ do that

Hi all,

I am a book nerd, at times. I use GoodReads. GoodReads is good!

But today GoodReads is bad. Every time I’ve logged into GoodReads today, I’m greeted with this heinous prompt:

NO. NO NO NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

I absolutely do not want to update my GoodReads password to match my Gmail email account. That’s an incredibly shitty idea — last I checked, my ego list of Pynchon checkmarks is NOWHERE NEAR as important as the E-mail account full of bank statements and professional contacts.

And it DOESN’T GO AWAY!

Every time I log in!

(Worse than PayPal!)

NO NO NO. PUT IT BACK. PUT IT BACK. This is a deal-breaker.

(Image-impaired: it says “Click “next” to update your Goodreads password to match your Gmail email account.”)

  1. WHAT THE HECK. How do they even know? Couldn’t you just put ZZZZZZZZZZZZ in the password field (assuming that that isn’t your gmail password) and call it a day? WHAT THE HECK.

  2. Just click “skip this step” at the bottom….
