Rule n° 196 - Password operations can be carried out in their entirety online.

"You can't find your password, no problem! Enter your name, first name, date of birth, your grandfather's maiden name, you will receive your new password in a few days by post. Until then, we hope you won't need our service too much." If this more or less imaginary message echoes your own experiences - banking, for example - you don't even need to be told why you should be able to change or reset your password online.
