What to next when your keep forgetting your password

We all have forgotten our account passwords in one way or the other. Forgetting your password can be very frustrating. It can be your bank account password, your phone password, your online course registration password or even your social media handle password or your student portal log in details. This experience of forgetting password is very deteriorating especially when you have no means of recovering that password.


In many cases, we feel we can remember the password we used in creating an account, but as time goes on, we tend to forget the actual password we used and we will start racking our brain, thinking of different letters, words and numbers that were not even in the password we used. Very funny how we display those thinking abilities. It is only when one forgets his /her password you can know how skillful one is in thinking.

The most difficult scenario is when you are in urgent need of a data, it could be to log in to your company's admin account to extract a data and your boss needs it urgently from you. You tried the first sentence you thought you used to create the account but it did not work, you tried another letter but it did not work, you then tried the last option of forgot password and the account you used to register or your phone number is not accessible. My dear just be ready to loose your job. Lol. I have been in this dilemma. Imagine people like us with different social media accounts and different sites we register for one thing or the other. You can have 10 passwords for 10 different accounts or sites and you will end up remembering only one. Very funny right?

Let me leave the story and give you some simple solutions on how I sorted my self after I keep loosing different accounts and keep reopening different accounts. Lets get down on them.

1.Always Write Your Passwords In A Jotter or Your Own Personal Diary- Yes! This might sound archaic but trust me it works like fire. Write them down and you can always consult your book when you forgot your password.

2.Use Simple but Complicated words- A lot of people likes sounding like digital gurus or tech gurus while creating a password. Please it is just a password not a competition contest. ,Create a simple password you can easily remember. Example is'' Robottechcomputerizecode001'' This password is long and very complicate

3.Mix Words and figures that are personal to you- I find it very appealing when i see people using the names of their loved ones to create a password or mixing birth dates of people close to them in creating password. With this, they can easily remember what they created.

4.Use One Word Password For All your Accounts- This can be very confusing for some people but trust me it is the best. If you are someone who operates many accounts on social media or on the internet, it is advisable you generate one password for all you accounts which will enable you to always remember. If the type of account requires figures only, use the same format for your accounts with figure password.

5.Always Screenshot Your Log in Details- It is also important you screenshot your password . Although it might not be safe but it is important.



If you are using a phone that requires only pattern, create your pattern and screenshot it. It will always be there for you to remember.

I hope these tips are of very importance. Please share with friends and also add any tips you know.
