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?
I have forgotten a password I enter every day when I bought a new keyboard. It turned out the password was all muscle memory and I had to think real deep and hard to remember it. It did come back to me, though.
If you’re becoming forgetful at such a young age, I’d assume there’s something going on in your brain. You’ve stayed that you’ve been diagnosed with depression, so that may explain things. Bad sleep will also wreck your memory if it lasts too long. Sleep is important for memory retention but also for general brain health!
You’ve said you’re not sleeping well and snoring loudly. This can be a sign of sleep apnea, which is can often be helped. It’s more common with overweight people but you can just have unlucky genes. Maybe mention your sleep problems to your doctor?
