Loss in terms of money or efforts. Could be recent or ancient.

Does personal blunders count? Because I changed my Bitwarden password and now I'm locked out of all my accounts.

That's that actually makes me feel better (seriously, not joking). I'm learning a lot words as I flip through the dictionary looking for that last word of the passphrase, so I guess thats a silver lining?? 🙃🥲 Maybe I'll find that word soon... any day now...

Sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to remind people of their personal mistakes. Hope you'll recover your password soon.
