Oh, what an experience you had. I'm glad you got through it.
I had a similar problem with all of my social connections.
My smartphone decided to refuse my pin numbers. This went on for a day.
I sent it to be serviced.
At the time,I had to reconnect with my spare phone.
This just means that I needed to login to all of my connections 2 times.
To my spare phone and to my normal phone, when it got back to me.
And I'm now thinking that could there be an automatic way to login every time something happens?
This would save time and my own nerves.
I wish there was a way to have a sort this of redundancy however not that I am aware of.
