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?

That's awesome.
Now you need to check that computer for a series of seed words. You might just find yourself in ownership of a couple dozen bitcoin.
