Why do people forget their passwords?

[DeathAngel]

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.

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.

Let us enlightenment ourselves, What could be some causes of this?
Could it be stress, elaborate passwords or something else (please state what you think is a cause).

From identifying the causes, i believe we will be able to get solutions.

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.

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.

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

Probably because not all people on Earth are educated

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
