1. Hey Ravi,

   Remembering passwords is one of the hardest tasks a blogger can ever face. And you just cant store them in a text file due to the fear of them getting stolen.

   And you have to make sure that the password must be really strong so that the hackers cant get in. And naturally, we forget those strong passwords.

   And here is your tutorial to save us ? , Nicely done Ravi. Easy but helpful yet.

   Thanks for sharing the tutorial!

   Have a great week ahead!

   1. Hi Rohit,

      You are right. We have lots of account at different websites so it’s hard to keep all of them in our mind so we need to store them.

      But what if we lost them? Here is the solution I have mentioned in the post.

      You can reset them easily.

      Thanks for your input.:)

      Have an amazing weekend.:)

2. Hi Ravi,

   Thank you for this.

   When it comes to passwords nowadays they really have to be complicated to keep the hackers out so I’ve got some really long hard to remember passwords. So far I’ve been able to remember my passwords but this is something to have handy for that time I won’t be able to, and I’m sure that time will be coming soon LOL!

   Have a wonderful day,

3. Hi Ravi,

   Yes indeed, forgetting our passwords is such a common problem ?

   Most bloggers, especially new ones, forget their passwords or don’t save them up well, which results in getting lost about how to check in to their blogs. I am glad you came up with this post, which explains the steps very well. Good I learnt this long back too, though always keep my password noted and saved, whether it’s for the blog or even any social media accounts.

   Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend, just as it’s coming up ?

   1. Hi Harleena,

      It’s not possible to remember all the passwords for a single person so it’s better to save them. But many bloggers forget their password so they should know how to reset their password?

      It’s a simple task beginners should know.

      Thanks for taking time to drop your input.:)

      Have a great day.

   I always use the same username and password for all my blog. Not good practice I know, but I forget my name half the time (lol), so what chance do I have of remembering multiple passwords.

7. Hi Ravi,

   What a great tutorial post! ?

   The newbie will fully understand this that’s for sure. You know I can never remember my WordPress password. My password don’t make any sense and it can’t be found in the dictionary.

   Plus, I have hundreds of passwords on different networks and social medias and I have installed “Passwords” appl on my iPhone who keeps and stores all of my passwords. Never use the same password on everything.

   1. Hi Angela,

      That’s the main problem that we use different password for different social networks and other websites that’s why there are chances that we may forget the password.

      I just keep my passwords written in my dairy so that if I forget then I look there.

      But beginners should know about the recovery of their password.

      Thanks for being here every time.:)

      Enjoy your day.

8. Hi Ravi,

   Yes, I have forgotten my password and this is good information to know. Right now I use a tool that remembers all my passwords, but sometimes it has some issues, so it’s good to know what you’ve provided in this post. I also keep an Excel spreadsheet as well with all my passwords in it.

   Everyone needs to know this and it’s a great post.
   Thanks,

   1. Hi Barbara,

      Many bloggers use some tools to keep their password face but in my opinion it’s better to keep them saved in your notes so that you can have a look whenever you want. Plugins are not that much trustworthy comparing to your own.

      Thanks for taking time to say your words.

9. Passwords make me CRAZY!!
   In the good old days (LOL), I had two that I interchanged between all my password protected sites.

   Now I have so many and they are so complex that I’ve resorted to two archaic strategies:
   1. I keep them all listed on a yellow paper index card in the drawer with my checkbooks (also archaic). A few I remember and a few are shared between two platforms – but generally I have to look at the card a few times per week. Especially when my browser decides it doesn’t want to remember anymore.

   2. I use the “reset password” or “forgot password” option frequently. Thus resulting in more new passwords that I can’t remember!

   Thank goodness it’s possible to recover and reset lost passwords, as you showed so well in this post Ravi. The panic of being locked out of WordPress would be unbearable!

   Thanks for the great instructions!
   Enjoy your upcoming weekend.

   Warmly,
   Deborah

   1. Hi Deborah,

      Yeah! for sure these strategies are going to work. Even I too keep my passwords and all necessary stuff related to my websites aside in my notes.

      It’s hard to remember all the passwords so sometimes I look upon them and try to remember then but for security purpose I need to change the passwords in a regular interval of time.

      Beginners should know that they can change their WordPress admin password.
      We can’t take risks to get restricted by WordPress.

      Thanks for taking time to put your wonderful input.:)

      Enjoy your day.:)

11. Hi Ravi,
    Remembering the password is I think the most perplexing task specially for those one who work on many blogs at same time. It has few times happened to me through which I suffered. Although after that bad experience I have learnt how to save your password but I think this is the best topic you have selected to resolve many one’s problem regarding forgetting the password.
    Thanks for sharing such an informative tutorial hope you’ll come up with many new ideas.

    1. Hi Mairaj,

       You are perfectly right that remembering all the passwords is somehow very difficult task.

       You may have many accounts and you can’t remember their passwords. It’s recommended that you should have written notes for all the passwords so that you can find them whenever you want.

       It’s very easy to reset the WordPress admin password.

15. Always prevention is better than cure, if you own multiple blogs which makes tough to remember password for every site. Then, you can use tools like Last Pass or 1Password ?

    1. Hi Pankaj,

       Welcome to my blog.:)

       Forgetting password is the common activity when you have multiple websites.

       I don’t think that you need to use any tool. WordPress has provided you the option to reset your password.

16. Hi Ravi

    Passwords are the bane of my life. I must have hundreds!! It beats me why I need to enter a password to do some of the mundane things that are password protected.

    However, my WP site I accept needs password protecting – and yes I’ve forgotten it many times. I wish your tutorial had been around to help me then.

    There’s no way I could remember all my password, or even write them down, so I use two different password-savers. I also let my browser remember it – but even so, it still sometimes gets forgotten – so that’s a useful tutorial.

    Have a great weekend. Joy

    1. Hi Joy,

       It’s such a common activity in our life that we all forget passwords.

       While using WordPress I forget my password many times and then I need to rest it or just to look at my notes which I keep with myself.

       It’s better to have a backup plan.

       But still changing WordPress password is very easy.

       Thanks for taking time to say your words.

17. Hey Ravi,

    I think that I am a little bit late here. But never mind, better late than never. The mere hearing of the word “Password” brings a little shiver to me. What if I forget? Because there are so many accounts here & there with so many passwords that sometimes I lose track of them. Therefore I always write down on a word document when I create them.

    Though if you forget your WordPress Blog’s password, then you can able to reset it. But here you have to follow some procedures. Thanks to you for this tutorials with suitable pictures. It will definitely help many to recover password of WP Blog.
