What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
As far as I have heard there is no way to recover your bitcoin wallet password so you need to pay maximum attention in order to keep it secure and not forget it anyway, otherwise you need to harvest what you saw. What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
If we forgot the keys to our wallet, then the only thing left for us to do is bid goodbye to our coins forever. Because there is absolutely nothing we can do about that. The safest measure we can do is to have our private keys printed or written or copied and stored in a very safe place. Do not ever trust only our memory or leave them just hanging around in
our computer. It is just not safe that way. Hackers can do the impossible things possible.

Private key is very important in making transactions with your bitcoin,if you loss it you will loss also your bitcoin. That's why you need to keep it safe. Print it,right it down in a paper then put in a safety place or much better to engrave it. You are the only one that can make your private key safe,so do everything not to loss it.
If lost a private key I think that's the end for the wallet no way to retrieve it else you back up with the numeric words and you have the numeric words. I think another best way is to safe it in your e-mail Adress
If it's a qt wallet that have wallet.DAT file it is easy to retrieve but if not if the key is lost and there's no backup the the coins inside that wallet is lost forever.
I know a few stories about losing keys and passwords to wallets, and none of these people were able to recover them. Alas.
Indeed many people are afraid and worried about maintaining their private key, and I can advise that we should use 2FA to increase the level of security in our private key.

It is no problem at all if you lose your key. Here is a database with all the possible keys in it. Just go there and find your address and get the key back.
All Bitcoin Keys Here
Awesome. Thanks. I just went it looked up some of my old wallets from years ago and received a few hundred BTC by getting the old private keys that I had lost. I looked up some of Satoshi's private keys for fun, but of course I wouldn't actually take his Bitcoin! But it's fun to snoop around billions of dollars sitting there in plain text on the internet. Bitcoin is fun, isn't it?
Unfortunately, in this case you can say goodbye to your investments. Keeping bitcoin is very serious and responsible, so never lose your keys if you don't want to lose money.
If you lost your keys, I don't think you can get them back
It's very stupid to lose the keys to electronic money. Write or print on paper, it's so easy.
If you lost your keys, they are lost forever. I don't think there is a way to get them back. Always try to save them somewhere safe... not just online, but offline too. You can't afford to lose your wallet keys they are very vital.
If someone accidentally forgot his/her private key of his/her wallet, he/she will not be able to access it anymore unless they will find ways to recocer or remember it. Thus, it is better if you will print your address together with your private key.
There is possible way to recover the private key of bitcoin wallet so better be careful on where you save it and do not forget about it. It is important thing in your account which have to keep it secure even saving it on your computer. You do not have to forget something that valuable especially if it is your asset that has to keep in for the future.
They can use I have lost my private key so they will get their private key back once the admin gets it, and maybe otherwise their bitcoin assets will be lost all because no more activity on their account
here you can immediately say goodbye to your finances that you had on your wallet, since it is not possible to restore the key, I advise you to keep the key in writing and on any other electronic media
I think some of the online wallets allow their users to have their passwords back by using the forgot password method which sends the password reset form to the email that you have used in regestering the wallet account that you have created.
I have kept my private keys in written form in my personal diary its the safest way to keep your private keys. Saving in Computer or laptop is risky because if it gets damaged you will lose all so best if to keep your private keys in written form.
That's great idea to kept your private keys in written form in your diary and keep in safest way. I like the way you do from now on my private keys I will write it and I deleted in my laptop, just like you say it safe it written and we know gadgets gets damaged and sometimes we lose it. Thank you cause you give me bright idea to kept my private keys safe. 
Even after taking so many safety measures i forget to take my ETH wallet backup and formated the hdd and even lost of pendrive where i have kept my all keys and important account details. But was lucky that one of the Data Recovery Company recovered my datas and saved me. But it is really good to keep your important details in 2 or 3 places so if one gets lost other source should be their to be safe side.
Maybe it could be if they still remember everything maybe they can get their private key back so they have to ask against the admin who know their private key. So i think they can get their private key back
