Never lose hope
It was easy to set my web browser to remember my passwords. To log in to one of my favorite websites (cplusplus.com), I just click one button, and the browser does the job on my behalf.
One day/night, I was following a fix and cleared my web browser cache...
All my passwords were gone.
I struggled to recover most of them, including the one for cpp.com. I looked through all the text files I suspected might contain it... couldn't find it.
I resorted to the "Forgot your password?" steps, only to realize that they were broken.
I searched again through every text file I could possibly have. I even used batch because I have a loooooot of files.
I wrote to cpp.com's "Contact Us" dozens of times.
I waited.
It's been 4 years...
Finally, I found my password.
In my brother's computer.

Welcome back 💀 I don't think clearing your cache does that in a modern browser, since login details aren't just "field texts" anymore.
Why did you have your brother's computer and why was your login on it?
