Topic: Why do people forget their passwords? (Read 1509 times)

Yes stress (physical and psychological), elaborate passwords can make someone forget their personal keys, also long usage have saved it in your browser. But I think not having it saved in other places other than the memory is also a major reason why people forget their passwords.

The point you made is clear and standard. Ordinarily, one've got alot in the head and on the mind. Even when you know that you know your passwords, you'll realize you forget them at times and time might come when you forget totally and that can't be a fault or error or mistake, somehow it seems normal.  This being the case, best and easy way up is HAVING IT DRAFTED SOMEWHERE ON A NOTE AND SAVED IN YOUR TREASURY AS IT MAY BE. Other means of keeping say electronic can go for reasons like mobility as you might need your password somewhere outside home. Like hdden text in your phone etc. Combo password keeping is best. Don't forget, you are not a computer to store everything but then can a computer loss data beyond recovery? Probably!

Internet companies imagines issues facing human that's why they try to improve password recovery. However, you cannot wait on them since some factors might deny you that service..  Paper and pen can do that magic together with any other means since the target is combine keeping.

Like making your password similar for different platforms can be a cheap trick to make you think that you can remember them all.
But you can imagine over dependency on your memory. It can disappoint. So when you suspect you have forgotten, the responses should be to check your unbiased database.

There are so many things that make people to forget their password, first, lack of knowledge is part of some of the thing that make people to forget their password because they don't know how important it is to them until they can't remember their password to have access to their personal detail, secondly, depression is another thing that makes people to forget their password because their mind will not be there base on some of the issues that is affecting them at the moment.

Its has do with being complacent, at the same time some people are use to not writing their passwords but only on a piece of paper and then throw it away or just by remembering it but after a few years since its not being use like normal task they forget, this things are what i heard also from some of my friends, or their seed or keys.

Forgetting passwords is something common between people and sometimes it doesn't cost any issue, but when it comes to the crypto world it is a serious matter.

It is very important to memorise your own password when it comes to wallets and some other accesses, because it is impossible to get your access back if you lost the password of your wallets. Most of the time the password to wallets is a private key that contains 12 or 24 words, it is very difficult to memorise these words, so most of people just save the words somewhere safe.

Generally what can cause forgetting your own password might be that either you put many different passwords here and there and you aren't able to remember which is which, or maybe because you set a password in a rush not taking it seriously leading you to forget it later when you need it, or sometimes some people tend to genetically have a weak memory.

This is why we always should take cautions when we do things like that.

Password managers are a bad idea in my opinion. I don’t trust them at all. Far better to just write them down & keep them somewhere safe.

That's right. Having a lot of accounts and different passwords will be confusing, and that's why some people are using password managers for them to quickly access their accounts with just a click away. But I think that people don't trust these kinds of features or apps to store passwords that's why they are using a primitive way which is writing them on their notes.

Major reason why many forget their password, key or pass phrase is due to engagement of many things that has to do with password and not being consistent on one password when opening a platform that require password or key, some is as a result of lacking record keeping by not storing it properly to a place they can easily access it when needs arise. Others courses including long time or failure to visit the sight or platform regularly after logout because a consistent login can make one remember the password because human get used to what ever he/she engage on daily basis in order word practice make perfect.

What makes people to easily forget password is when they open an account or something that has password that doesn't mean so much but if it is something that is very important to them they will try their best to make sure the password is written ina note which they can always go back to it but if it is something that does not have much value for them,  they may not even decide to copy the password because it is not very important to them.

Probably because not all people on Earth are educated

How many passwords do you use? I'd assume one with a few variations [which you type every time not knowing your actual password].

I think it's normal to forget the password because it's not your priority, I also often forget my passwords to all my accounts including wallet maybe because the passwords are already saved on my pc so when I reset I forget them.
All I do is put all my accounts in notepad in case I forget they're all there.

Mostly users didn't save their phrases at a safe place and they even didn't know where there phrase was. And also users are present which forget to have the phrase key of their wallets. Also some users may be in a hurry through which they loss didn't save their key and thus this may be an area of losing the phrases of wallets.

It should be kept in a safe place like I can say we have to make some hardware wallets which are even best for the funds and our funds will be very safe in these wallets at any place.

People forget their passwords for lots of reasons. One common one is they have too many passwords to remember especially with the increasing number of online accounts. If a password is not regularly used or is too complex it becomes more difficult to remember. Human memory also naturally fades over time making it challenging to remember specific combinations of characters. Stress, distractions or a lack of concentration can contribute to forgetting passwords.

Most of the reasons why I think people do forget their password is due to the feature of fingerprint in most of this platforms that gives room for log in through fingerprints. Most platforms and apps make provision for fingerprints more especially on mobile devices and android phones and moreover auto log in is also a factor that leads to one forgetting their password because when you automatically login to platforms without imputing password definitely as time goes on the password can easily be forgotten, then as for seed phrases the words are many such that not everyone can really recall their seed phrases except they store it in a safe place of which it can even be misplaced if you don't check it up frequently.

Indeed, the loss of passwords or keys from cryptocurrency wallets is a common problem among cryptocurrency users.
This can happen if the user did not write down their password or key in a safe place or forgot it.
Forgotten password or key, if a cryptocurrency wallet was stored on a device that was lost, stolen or damaged, then the user may lose access to their wallet.
Fraudsters may use various methods such as phishing attacks to gain access to personal informationusers, including data for access to cryptocurrency wallets.
If a cryptocurrency wallet has been stored on a non-secure device or in an insecure location, the user may lose access to the wallet due to damage or loss of the device.
Cryptocurrency wallets can be compromised as a result of cyber attacks, which can lead to loss of access to accounts.
In order to prevent losing access to cryptocurrency accounts, you must use strong passwords and keys, keep them in a safe place, keep your devices safe, be careful on the Internet, and be sure to back up your keys or passwords in a safe place.

I'm always asking me why I forget the  password. But after some time they disappear. No one knows.

Password is the most important and personal thing. One never shares one's password with anyone else because passwords are strictly private. Because only through password people can access their personal account and wallet. But many times it is seen that many people forget or lose their password. For those who have gone through such situations in life, today I will say to always use some familiar words or letters while giving passwords. Use words or symbols that you are very familiar with and that you remember in your daily life as your password. And if there is a risk of forgetting the password, you can keep a note of your password in a safe place so that you can collect the password from there when you need it later. And always use some hint while giving password so that you remember your password when you see them.

To prevent forgotten passwords or keys for cryptocurrency investments, there are several common causes that should be addressed, including

• stress and anxiety
• complex passwords 
• lack of organization
• carelessness

To mitigate these risks, use a

• password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords in an encrypted database 
• enable two-factor authentication
• backup keys in a secure location, and keep passwords and keys in a safe   
• password-protected file 

By implementing these best practices, individuals can protect their cryptocurrency investments from potential loss or theft.

If the password, seed phrase, or private key is forgotten, it is clear that this is negligence, not focusing 100% on what is being done.

     Why did I say? Because we know in ourselves that we will invest it with assets that can provide profit in the future, etc. Then you don't put it in a safe place, even on a USB flash drive. It's no different from when you open a bank account and then you don't remember or write down your password or pin, of course, you will remember because how will you release it if you don't know the password you made, it's just common sense, it's the same with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency industry if you are storing any cryptocurrency in the wallet address that has a password, private key and seed phrase.
