Forgot Your Flash Drive Password?
We’ve all been there:
You’re staring at a login screen, typing the same three variations of your go-to password. You try birthdays. Pet names. That clever pun you were sure you’d remember. Then…
Access denied.
If you’ve ever forgotten a password, you’re in good company. According to surveys, the average person forgets over 15 passwords per year, and spends nearly 11 hours annually just resetting them(1).
Now imagine that one of those forgotten passwords holds the key to a fortune.
It happened.
The $235 Million Oops
In one of the most infamous examples of password amnesia, crypto entrepreneur Stefan Thomas lost access to a USB drive containing 7,002 bitcoins—worth over $235 million. His IronKey drive allows only ten password attempts before it locks forever. He’s tried eight.
Yes, that’s real.
Yes, that’s terrifying.
(You can read the full story in WIRED by Andy Greenberg if you’re into high-stakes tech drama.)
But here’s the thing:
You don’t need to own Bitcoin to feel that kind of panic.
It could be tax records, family photos, legal files—whatever matters to you most.
Most People Don’t Need a Hacker Team. They Need a Plan.
When Thomas forgot his flash drive password, hacker teams spent months reverse-engineering a way to crack the device. Think lasers. Nitric acid. CT scans.
Cool if you’re starring in a spy movie.
Not so great if you’re just trying to access your tax documents.
