    Just another terrible week. Remember that post about the forgotten bitwarden password. I still haven’t remember the password. I’m not sure if I’ll ever find it. 😥

    When depression is already so bad, this forgetting passwords thing is just another thing that’s slowly destroying my will to live.

      About six years ago, I changed the password to a secondary email account I had and promptly forgot it. I mostly used that email address for junk, but it was connected to some accounts that I either still used or wanted to delete. Over the past several years, I have tried every password I could think of or find scribbled on a scrap of paper somewhere. I attempted account recovery, then advanced account recovery (where a human reviews all the information I can give them about the account). When I got a job at the company that runs this email service, I tried the internal account recovery method twice, but still was not able to convince them that it was my account.

      A few weeks ago, I tried a new writing exercise. I got an old, empty notebook and started writing. I turned the page, and there it was written: the username and password to this account.

      Sometimes answers appear in unexpected places. I hope you figure out your password.
