John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Identity Management Tool

Identity management tool

I was asked by Apple iTunes a question to confirm my identity and allow me access to my account

The identity question ?

What was the first album you purchased?

I answered–after considerable thought –Puff the Magic Dragon. It was 45 years ago but I remember it well.

But I was told “no” that wasn’t the album.

How do they know?

Can I find out from Apple what the album was I first purchased?

May be they will say the Monkees….but that was my second album.

I will call tomorrow to protest this block to my account and I will have affidavits from my mom and two sisters that, indeed, it was Puff the Magic Dragon.
