Forgetting a password can be stressful and time consuming. Here are a few tips to help you remember a forgotten password and recover them on various platforms.
Look in your web browser. Many browsers, like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Firefox store passwords for you. Each has a different way to access saved passwords but usually the top right corner of the screen will have three dots or lines that you click on to access the browser’s settings. Look for a “password” tab to find saved passwords for a variety of sites and applications.
Have a backup email address. This can be another email address that you own or a trusted friend or family member’s email address. A secure and accessible backup email address can be used to recover a password for an account if you forget your password. A password reset link can be sent to your backup email address when trying to log in to your account.
