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. ๐Ÿฅฒ 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?

it doesn't sound like anything abnormal to just completely forget a new password, let alone one part of it. I would not see anything to worry about in this instance. but if you're worried about your memory more generally, how is your sleep? do you get enough, is it restful, do you snore, is your schedule consistent, do you eat before bed? there can also be lots of other common factors like unresolved emotional trauma or depression or neurodivergent traits. additionally, memory is a skill that can be trained if you want to have a good memory.

again, this incident is not something to worry about. if you feel like there's a pattern, there are many things you can look into but start with your day-to-day state. investigate how your body and mind feel. I can't even begin to get close to saying you may have a particular condition, just want to give some lines of thought you can investigate if you want.

I don't really sleep well. I can't really sleep so I just use my phone until I'm too tired to stay awake. And my parents say I snore very loudly. And I'm diagnosed with depression and I kinda get anxiety attacks recently. I can't function enough to go to college so I had to withdrawl. Now I can't even relax and log in to post memes on lemmy in peace ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ.

And um I'm not sure if this is relevent, but I recently just got so paranoid about my family shoulder snooping on my passwords so that's why I changed my Bitwarden password in the first place.

Memory problems checks out for all that, yes
