Have you ever lost your password?

I know it's wrong, but I've been using the same password for 10 yrs. LOL! So until I get dementia I'll remember it. the thing I hate is when some of these sites issue you a password they decide on, but normally you can change it to your preference. I use fox marks on my foxfire browser and it remembers everything and that saves me a lot of headaches. If your using firefox you might want to check it out! tdemex

I have lost my password for a site and lost some money because of it, but now i used roboform to manage my passwords.

Oh yeah! Many times. But they have been easy to recover with the password hints or security questions. I never had anything like what you're describing. Are you sure that it's not done on purpose?

Hi Maxine, I have in the past lost passwords or had passwords not recognised so now whenever I join a site especially a survey one for making money I have a section in my address book where I write them all down, by doing this it also reminds me of what sites to visit if they do not email notification, however I do not write any passwords down for secure sites like my bank accounts or paypal etc they are all in my head. Huggles. Ellie :D

I did so many times and rebuit many passwords.It is too hard to remember the password for a long time.so I have to write a note for the new code again.

In fact I did. Most of the times, it's not because I lost the password, but I didn't write them down properly and sometimes I didn't bother to write them down. I thought I could memorize them because if I have forgotten the passwords, I could always send a request for retrieving the passwords, right?! However, it was silly of me when I didn't write down one of the email address I created and in the end I couldn't retrieve both! 48 letters to get a new password did sound crazy. Hope you manage to solve it. Good luck!

I started a discussion a while ago about passwords, and came to the conclusion that the only really safe way is to record them in a diary, which I have started to do. Your situation here, would frustrate as well as annoy me. Good luck, max.

I have lost a password before luckily i was able to get it back. Now i keep an excel spreadsheet with all my sites and passwords. It helps greatly.

My laptop crashed a couple of months ago and I lost all of my passwords! Generally I use the same ones over and over but my kids have been telling me that it isn't safe to do that. I had one heck of a time trying to remember them. Some I had written down, but others I hadn't, now I am trying to keep a pen and paper beside me when I am working online, then if I join a new site, I write it down. I did have a similar experience to yours, one site I joined assigned me my password. It didn't have 46 letters but it had a bunch! I couldn't figure out how to change it for months, everytime I went to that site, I would have to go to my email first and copy and paste it! How annoying!

it has happened to me. it really is annoying especially if you are so eager to read something. ann

it doesn't happen on me .because I remark them on my notebook

Passwords are really important. Of course, I have experienced losing my password but I have already learned a lesson from it. Right now, I should be careful and keep in mind. In fact, I do have a text file to list my necessary accounts. How about doing the same thing???
