    There was one time I was traveling and had to reset one of my passwords. It sent a verification code via email but my email provider wouldn’t let me login because I was in a different country I’ve never been to before. So it was a train of recovery processes to reser my password on a single account.

      I can smell the Linux crowd rushing to suggest a better method.

      Run a VPN server at home, any decent router should be able to run one. Then you can be anywhere in the world and every site will still think you are at home.

        How would they be able to do that if they were already out of the country? Or is it something that “everyone” should set up?

          That’s something that should be set up before leaving. You wouldn’t be able to do it away from home unless you already had remote access to a computer running at home or if your router had remote access enabled.
