So um... I kinda forgot my Bitwarden Password... 😬 Also can we talk about like stress memory problems and stuff? Recently, I'm having trouble remembering stuff. (reddthat.com)

Since my main lemmy's password is locked behind Bitwarden, I had to make a new account to post. Originally I started using passwords manager because I keep forgetting passwords. But my paranoid ass is so worried that someone saw me typing my Bitwarden master password so I feel the urge to change it. So now I forgot the new master password.

The password is a few word passphrase generated from a keyword. Like an acoustic poem, if you know what I mean. I know all the words except one word, and I know the starting letter of the word, just forgot the exact word. 🥲 Guess I'm gonna flip through the dictionary to find a word that feels right.

Um so... has anyone experienced memory issues? I'm a young adult (18-25 age range), so I feel so strange to be forgetting stuff so early. Like do young people normally forget things?

Honestly 2 days is entirely understandable to forget.

When I change such an important password (which is very, very rarely), I keep a hidden hard copy for a short while, until I'm confident I have it memorized (usually a couple of weeks). While this has some risks, obviously so does losing access to your data. It depends on your living situation and threat model.
