I know this is an old thread, but I think this thread is very important to explain to beginners who have just jumped into the crypto world. if you ask me about all your questions I will answer.
1. How much do you remember on your private key?
Answer: I don't even remember half of my private key characters. I only keep my private key in a safe place and then I copy and paste when I need it.
2. Can it recover the lost Private Key?
Answer: You can restore it by accessing your wallet with files such as UTC if you user MyEtherWallet. but if you lose files that can access your wallet, there is no other way than to create a new wallet.

why bother to memorize our personal, just copy and save, if you lose you can save the Keystore / JSON File
As you already understood that the private private key is the only way to secure your account, but in the event of loss, as I know, it is impossible to restore it, it may later come up with a recovery procedure, but it will be in the future
I do not understand why need to remember the private key. Yes, and why use it. Much more secure is the use of combinations of password + file.
ME TOO !
Everyone i think can't remember their private key.
I think its more secure when you write down your private key on the paper , too low potential your wallet to be hacked .
and you can back up your private key in google drive , with 2fa login
Imagine how many characters of a single key not only on bitcoin but also on other altcoins as well which do have long strings of alphanumeric then tendency on losing 1 digit will really mess you up.
Have you memorized your Eatherwallet private key?
Do you mean "Myetherwallet"..., there's no way i can memorized every letters and numbers of my private key al you need to memorized is the place where you put or hide your private keys.Quote
How many of you have to remember your private key,
I think only 0.01% of all users of MEW have thier private key memorized in every letters and numbers that it consist.Quote
If you Lost your private key what will you do

I don't memorize my private key even with myetherwallet.
And don't be wrong with its spelling because it can lead people to have wrong assumption that this is the correct website. Intruders, hackers or phishers can use and take this is as an opportunity to fool others that aren't aware about real spelling of MYETHERWALLET (MEW).
That's why there are many existing phishing links that are copying MEW because some are informed of what's the correct spelling.

You mean to memorize the private key by your brain and dont use any of tools? This should be impossible, unless it is possible for those with extraordinary memory to remember such a set of numbers. Im usually writing down private key on a few sheets of paper and then randomly placed them in several different places at home.

Lol memorizing private keys is a joke its too long and case sensitive to memorize that when you missed only symbol and its gone so better save it in your offline storage than in your brain.
Yeah . private key is compose of long text , so memorizing it is nearly impossible . the best thing to do is just copy and paste it on to some different devices and gadgets so that you can have a back up in case one of your device had broken or stolen . infact , that is also im doing right now .
I do not save it on my computer because it can be hacked at any time.
Saving private keys in a computer is fine , as long as you have an antivirus and you dont oftenly download unknown files from unknown sources because that is the number one cause of catching a malware . i do store my private keys on a laptop for almost a year and so far i dont experience any problems regarding on my account

Yes, I took my time to memorize my private key and I even wrote it down in a diary where I can easily access it when I forget the password because without this key I will not be able to access my information and funds in the wallet.
Some good memory you have got, I did not go through those rigors, writing it down in my dairy or stored in a flash drive is a better option for me
It is difficult to do and is absolutely unneccessary to commit it to memory, It is meant to be stored securely, not something you could easily recall
The experience of a person who has just lost his open wallet MEW. I assure you there is no way to get back. Keep in mind that it is important to you
All important things should be kept secret because they can not be retrieved.
When creating a wallet MEW, the code must be important. If you lose it, you can not get it back
I advise you to keep the private key in several places, one on the other's flash drive on a piece of paper hidden in a safe
I do not think it is possible to recover your private key when it is lost no matter how much you try, that it is why it is good to always save your private key on good storage, write it down in a diary and try to memorize it as it is you only key to access your data.
hi bro seems your answer already exists and exactly as the answer above, do you just try copying / pasting it
OP
I do not think it is possible to recover your private key when it is lost no matter how much you try, that it is why it is good to always save your private key on good storage, write it down in a diary and try to memorize it as it is you only key to access your data.
all are correct it's very difficult to memorize private keys so it's important to keep privatekey backups in a safe place, but a wrong opinion if they say you can't recover if you lose private key, you can still get your private key if you still have you json file and passwords.

??I have printed my private keys several times and stored them in different places plus offline storage via usb stick. That's how I feel for save. Of course you can also use a hardware wallet or other ways to store your keys, but for me it's enough.
