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. ๐ฅ
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.
