forgotten passwords

Login memory lapses

Forgotten passwords are login credentials that users can no longer recall, a near-universal experience in digital life.

The phrase typically appears in account recovery contexts: Click here if you've forgotten your password.

The plural acknowledges the modern reality of managing dozens of accounts, each demanding its own combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
