I guess that means you don't have 1 password for everything...

🤣! I'm with you on that one. I had the same thing happen on my PS3 account and it took forever to get it fixed thanks to the hacker... "Remember Me" feature gets amnesia sometimes I guess 🙁 .

No. Never.

*quickly runs and hides in the corner in shame*

Yes, I've forgotten passwords before, once in a way that it was never recoverable again.

Generally I don't use the same password for everything, but I limit myself to 5 different ones max.

And within those 5 I use different variations of the same password (i.e. one or two different characters or numbers). As long as I can remember every combination it's fine. I don't ever write them down anywhere either; just only keep it orally amongst trusted family members. But I did forget the one to my banking account once and it was quite a hassle to reset.

It happened to me, several times. I mostly use one password, although sometimes I change it a bit. That's why I made backups of Firefox user settings folder from time to time.

This time I forgot how to enter one of my bank accounts. 😁

How do you do that?

And I alsways write them down...and guess what happened to the scrap of paper I write it down on 😁

You guys do know that Firefox doesn't encrypt the passwords unless you change a setting? (Unless that's been changed in the newer versions).

It'd be a simple matter to have malware upload the file that contains the unencrypted passwords (although a keylogger would work just as well)

Does 4.01 display this behaviour too?. How can stored passwords be forced to be crypted?

But unless your security is compromised, will it be important if the password is encrypted or not?

Btw, the really important passwords I always type in manually 😉

I've forgotten ALL of my important passwords, except for one:

http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

I only remember this one password (although, to be honest, is not a password, but a passphrase), which I also have written down in paper in several "secret" places at home (the same places where I hide all the drugs! 😜

I email the .psafe3 file to myself from time to time, to have it backed up by Google's gmail servers.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it keeps me relatively secure, while at the same time avoids the problem of forgotten passwords.

I forgot the EEPROM code to an old Xbox hard drive that I wanted as an external HD, and now it's a useless, fancy paperweight.

I never forgot the password to my mobile phone though, was the model number of the motherboard my friends's old computer 😁

No. Weird I forget usernames more easily, specially when I can't remember if the login is the full email address

If you use different usernames everywhere you go, forgetting them is always inevitable. I have ran into that problem many times in the past.
