Have you ever forgotten your password to your email account?

I have few email accounts and the most used are yahoo and gmail. The rest have totally disappeard from my memory. I share the same passwords for the two accounts that I frequent. This is to avoid messing up the passwords and it works fine for me and most unlikely that I can forget the password as the password is my birthdate. The lost ones need to be reapplied.

My old email address I have forgotten the password, I think that account has now been deleted as I'm sure they delete them if they have been inactive for so long!!! When I moved out of my mums house to Butlins, I didnt have computer access so never used my email account so forgot the password and the email address. Since setting up this email account that I have know, I haven't forgotten the password due to the fact that I use it more or less everyday!

That fortunately has not happened to me yet, but I have ever forgotten passwords to other kinds of sites. I have signed up for so many schemes and accounts that I just cannot memorize all the user IDs and passwords used. So there are times I either key in the wrong IDs and/or passwords, or I just cannot remember them totally. I am wiser now and I keep all these account information in a document somewhere for me to refer whenever I am lost. It is quite upsetting and troublesome if I make wrong guesses about passwords more a couple of times, and get my accounts locked out.

Back before Yahoo started with the ID thing I had an account but I left a job and then I tried to log in someplace else but it asked for my ID, since I didn't have one I tried to set it up but it was on their server so I never was able to get back to that account. I might try to see if its still out there because I had some good stuff on there.

Yes I lost a hotmail account that way. So now I have a word document which lists everything. I have nothing to steal so I don't worry to much about having it there.

I've never lost the password to my email acount, but I did once forget the password to a game site that I played at occasionally. I was never able to retrieve it, so had to start all over again. How frustrating! Since then, I keep account names and passwords written im a seperate place, as well as a list of friends email addresses. I keep a written log of the names and phone numbers in my cell phone too, just in case!

fortunately, never so far... i always record my login name and password for all my account in a hidden file inside my computer... so if i forgotten, i can always refer to it... i hope it will never happen to me as it will be very devastating if it happened... take care and have a nice day...

I have so many password to a multitude of different functions that I keep a notebook with them all listed. Of course know one but me knows where the notebook is!

Thank God this hasn't happened to me. I usually use passwords that are close to my heart that I would rarely forget. I also write it down and keep a copy in our volt at home.

yes i do all the time

Yes, I have forgotten a password to an account a few years back. I forgot the secruity answer also. It was very frustrating to not be able to get my emails and saved things. I need to start keeping them written down somewhere just in case this were to ever happen again.

Yes a few times but not that often I try to make my password somthing I can easily remember, and if I do happen to forget my password I just contact my internet service provider and get a new one issued.

i never forget my email id or password. but one day i cannot access my account. i dont know how it happened. anyway using the password reset manager, i reset my manager. if i failed in that, i would have totally quit internet. because my mail contains that much sentimental things inside containing all my memories.

well i too have forgotten my account passwords a couple of time but what save me is that whenever i change my password or create a new account i mail my password and security question to an existing email account so in that way it help me a lot even if i forget my pass word

Now a days I use gmail most prominently, but there was a time when I used something else. I just can't remember how I forgot password of that email id:$ And for more than two years I kept trying to recall the password, atleast the answer to the security question. And one day, all of a sudden, I remembered the password!! Though I had to try different spelling combinations, but at last my account got retrieved... :) First thing I did was to change my security question. LOL

Yes this has happened to me also. I also have lost passwors to few important accounts and could never recover them. Due to this I've lost about $100 also.

There were times I have forgotten my passwords but I was able to recover them. But the worst thing that ever happened to my email account was to be blocked being sure to myself that I never forgotten my password. Until this day, I was not able to open that account. I thought that account was hacked or something so I had opened another account to that email provider.

I have too many passwords i keep then stored in my (paper) address book.

When i was new of using the computer before i always forgot my password and don't know how to retrieve it.I ended up getting a new email account until finally i learned how to get it back.

Yes, I do forget it once and that was when I was still using the Internet Explorer and I just request to Yahoo Mail to send my password that I have been forgotten but now that I do have a Mozilla Firefox i never experience it as well in the first place I always keep it open and never logged out of it and then the Firefox also have a memory so that every time I will open the site it will be sent automatically...
