Back in the old times there are no high tech devices to hide or keep information. But they manage to keep things like treasures safe with some codes of their own printed or carved in stones and other materials for them to recall when it is needed. Just think of how they even manage to hide it? Is it not possible to do it today? You can mask your keys with a different code or change some letters on it that you only knew. You can even put the whole thing printed on paper and posted on your wall yet the wrong key with edited portions. Or may just use an offline computer or cellphone and hide it only you will ever know. Never put it online. And leave it just as a storage. Usb flashdrives are not good since it is oftentimes the medium for spreading virus that could hack information. There are so many ways only you will know.

I don't know if there are a chance to retrieve the password, but one of the nice way that I think can help to secure your private key is that you can upload it to your email or save it in many hard drive and also print a copy that you can save your files too.

I cannot be sure about private key retrieval. Perhaps if there is such a thing, our wallets would never be as safe. Well, perhaps if someone here is an expert hacker, he might give you something helpful. But as far as my basic knowledge is concerned, a lost private key simply means a lost access to your wallet. That is why I am always recommending a primitive way of saving private keys, through pen and paper.
Among the options I'd recommend are keeping your private key in a safe deposit box in a bank and using a hardware wallet for security. The hardware wallet will thus encrypt the provate key, preventing even the compromising of a computer from affecting one's bitcoin.

In case you lose your private key, you can use backup words to get back. If you don't get it and if you lose the password, you have no other way to get it back.
You can write a paper and hide it carefully. You can create a file to save on google driver or send to your mail. If you lost it, you can not get it back.
Yes it is too much important that you must have a backup or your wallet key, because if you will lose your wallet key i do not think that there is any way to recover it, and you will lose your bitcoin forever. I have already lost some amount of bitcoin by losing my bitcoin wallet key. I tried my best to find a way to get access to my wallet but not succeeded, and therefore after that i am now too much careful about my wallet key having backup for that and kept it in a safe place.

I think there is no more ways to recover it unless it has a back up like an email or number that can possible to change your password but if there is none sadly but your bitcoin will be stuck on it and will never be used. Thats why we really need to keep our private keys safe. Jump to:
