1) Too many different passwords.
2) Not securing them offline.
3) Not taking security seriously.
I can remember passwords from 20 years ago for obscure sites I used 1 time, but often forget a password for something important that I set last week. I know I need to take password management more seriously, but I still just keep putting it off to another day.

Maybe because passwords require symbols, uper and lowercase.
To me its okay for passwords to be forgotten but its unforgivable to forget keys. We even write it down 12 wors on papers to secure it that its safe if the computer crashes because its saved on a peice of paper. Wallets even didnt allow us to take a screen shot. If you often use the wallet in recieving and sending, forgetting password is not good.

I can't remember my login password either. We often have the thought that if we set a complex and long password, the password is safe and difficult to be stolen. But it also makes me unable to remember, the best way is to backup and keep it safe.
Recently, i have been coming across more stories of person's that have forgotten their passwords or keys, and because of that, have lost their investments (btc and other coins) in the process.
The fact is that you cannot use one password for all sites. And many, many passwords are no longer easy to remember. Therefore, we write them down somewhere, and then we forget where we wrote them down. In my opinion, this is the main problem. That is what I fear the most if I write down the password on paper. Chances are I might misplace them and whoever gets this will be able to see my password. Specially me that do not have a safe mechanism at home nor anything that would prevent burglary at home. Even my computer I am not confident that it will do the job of saving the passwords. There must be a good solution that one of you can share with us here. So if you know one please do share with us.
I think is best practic is to write in a diary as well save it electronically on memory stick but never save it on computer hard disk that is not secure. I follow it since i started using computer and use the same method while running my trading accounts in stocks and crypto currencies on Multiple exchanges. We forget password when we are under the influence of alcohol or our mind is busy in Multiple tasks.
I think life is going very fast and due to lack of time we are stuck in the rush of time and because of that, we can't remember everything. At that time it has become a common thing to forget but It is very important to save these passwords in a dairy at the same time.

I think the main reason when we create a password knowing that it can be autosaved, and so we forget it because of autosaved sometimes and it's a common human thing.Many people struggle with passwords because we need a lot of them nowadays and it won't be wrong to say that our life on digital media on passwords these days. 🙏

I've come across certain number of people who wants to be using a self generated default password for every of their wallets created in the process of not having to forget password but it's quite unfortunate that they can't do the same thing to phrases nor private key. Even though using just one password isn't safe as it exposes your whole life data from being hacked.
Causes
1. Creating wallet under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2. Not having the right appropriate cloud app installed on mobile/PC to have your data saved like the interest of Google docs, colornote, Google drive to mention few.
3. Not being in a conducive area while creating wallet. Because at times, background noises easily distract one's attention.
4. Not understanding the exact files to stored (Newbie)
5. Marital issues. This sounds odd and also out of context but it's the truth though. I was once a victim; ike I mistakenly exposed my wallet worth of 2000$ plus while having some sort of arguments on Internet with my girlfriend back then in 2018.

I think the password or private key, is not something we need to remember or memorize, but it needs to be back up. Because this is important for any time to use. However, I experienced something different, not losing my password or private key, but the blockchaindotcom I couldn't access, with the wrong password description. But I never changed it. Even though I have assets in my wallet. The next method is to connect to a smartphone wallet. But the previous Smartphone was broken. Maybe someone can explain why this is happening.
Knowing the ultimate reasons why people forgets their password is vast without numbers which might be based on so many factors which are:
Personality

Password is something that should been written in a personal diary or saved somewhere you can easily get at anytime. Because the human mind can forget it anytime due to different circumstances. It's nature to forget , but it should be saved in a proper place
While creating passwords, we often overestimate our remembering our capacities and we create a password unique to what we don't use on any other sites and hence when we try to login, we sometimes get confused with the passwords. I think it's solely and purely natural and normal, if you can always remember your password, it simply isn't strong enough I guess

The only person I've seen in recent times that happens to lost his private key is actually a friend. I helped him bought few TRY about a year and half ago only for him to call me few weeks ago asking for how he can recover his wallet without private key. I think the major reason people usually forget their keys out of negligence is usually because the asset is small in value and maybe some other reasons too
Loss or forgetting their passwords is one of the important thing that need to secure it properly. Especially, if you store your crypto in a cold wallet like electrum, or you are using any of the exchange whether decentralised or centralised were to this issue you can still recover them for sure but in a cold wallet that would be a big problem, because of the negligent behaviour we have were We shouldn't have this anyway.

In my opinion, the only reason why people forget their passwords would only sum up with one word and that is "value". If you value your accounts and you know the significance of having that account then there is no reason for you to forget the password. That is a common mistake of people who lived with passwords and they tend to remember their email password but forget some like exchange passwords and other crypto related stuff.
There are many reasons why someone forgets or loses a password...
among others, human error = is due to negligence, or accidentally dumped by someone closest to, and natural disasters = it could be due to fire or other things related to nature.

To the early birds, it might be just that they simply never saw Bitcoin going where it is today - or the lack of information regarding cold storage and wallet safety. Most early Bitcoiners played with the currency just for fun. I've lost my passwords to some of my older accounts as well. To some of them it was because I did not care, to others it was because I simply forgot about their existence and others were just too complex for me to remember.
If people care, they spend their time securing their funds. But too many people trust their devices way more than they should.
