In other to avoid becoming a victim of circumstances its advisable to have your key printed saved in our email or even written down on a note pad your memory can fail you. Once you loss your private key its gone and gone forever

What are the measures to keep your private key safe and in memory ? Are there any alternatives to retrieve the key back ?
The simple way keep your private key in safe place or in your memory is by just printing its private key and store it. Once you forgot you private there is a chance you can't recover your wallet so that you must some back up way to restore it or simple reset your wallet. You must know that private key is very important because it is key to open your wallet.

save in telegram because that's really safe you can create your own page

use Yahoo mail too and Twitter then Facebook for more safe

the best is activate 2fa and don't use some phrases for my experience

It is good idea to save your key in that way. But the systems are not very safe for me too. I guess the best way will be to write your key on the sheet of paper and put it in the case.

Forgetting the key to your bitcoin means you loosing your money automatically. I think that for you not to forget it, one can create a file on a notepad and save it. OR to a flash drive. NOTE, your flash drive should not be used in public places or computer. Your private key should be saved offline.

A very bad situation would be if I forgot a password one day. Everything will lose in a minute. That's why I keep a password handwriting, I have a married picture in the circle, I write on the back and hang on the wall. Safe too.

I think if that happens is a disaster for you, still you will not be able to access anything else. so try to create duplicate data to avoid any chance that happens as you say.

There is no way to get it back. And thus it makes sense to write it down on a paper and keep it safely.

Loosing or forgetting your private key means total loss of your all holdings as there is no way to recover your  private key. Always keep a physical copy of your private key at safer place if you don't want to loss your holdings.

It is bad thing you can do. It will be very difficult to recover your wallet. As for me I always write my private key on a piece of paper and put it in a case.

if someone ever forgets a private key to get into bitcoin it's a huge risk because it could cause the loss of all tokens stored in your personal wallet. because the private key is the only way to get into your bitcoin block each. be careful not to lose you ......

Frustrating if this will happen to you.Imagine,way back 2010 if you buy a large numbers of  bitcoin and you forgot your bitcoin wallet and you find out that the bitcoin price now is so high?so frustrating and depressing.So i suggest in this kind of investment,always be careful.Its better to write the details and put it on safe place.

You are definitely right about that. All the stored token may also lost So being careful is a must when taking care of your private key.

Bad news for you because you can not get it whatever you have in your wallet, I think the best way that you have to do is make copy or write it and keep in safe place
This is the best way to avoid losing bitcoin and altcoins make sure you have a double or triple copy of each of your key. Because their is no other way to retrieve the key so make sure that you make all your wallet have a duplicate copy.

it is a nightmare of every purse holder, and if until it happens then the same you lose your wallet and bitcoin you have.
there is no alternative way to recover your wallet. because the only access to your wallet is just a private key.

I use lastpass to store my private keys,password and sensitive data so I can access them anywhere anytime. But if you don't take measures to recollect your private keys when lost,then your coins are gone forever

Forgot the key means all tokens stored in your wallet is lost. I think, the best way to safe your private key is to write your key in your personal diary/notebook and make sure keep in secure place.

If you lost your bitcoin wallet private key then you cannot open your bitcoin wallet because it cannot be recovered. You lost your wallet private key then you lost your bitcoin too. Please keep your private key safe.

You have to keep the password and login in a safe enough place, like write it on a notepad or something, that is the only way to solve this in my opinion!
