Today I fucked up.

Well it was bound to happen. Been using the markets for years and never had the slightest issue until today. I got too complacent and deposited $300 to an account only to get to the buy page and realize I have no idea what the PIN is. Mnemonic is lost to time and space. I fucking hate myself. Just a friendly reminder to to take 2 seconds and write your shit down fellas, could save you a lot of heartache in the future. I'm gonna go pop a Xanax now and wallow in self-pity.

This dab is for you OP.

I had something like this the other day.

I had to let it sit for a day, because if you try too hard to remember you never will, then I happened to get out of my head on the drug I was on back when I created the account which helped me magically remember all the various passwords which had been previously lost to time and space. Funnily enough going through some old emails from that period in time kind of helped my head go back to where it was when I created the account. - Where I was living, what music I was playing, who i was talking to, old account names I had been using, etc. It's like a form of self-hypnosis or like trying to remember how to use a Blackberry after having an iPhone for a few years. You will suddenly go, "OMG OF COURSE!!!!!! IT WAS MY DOG'S DATE OF BIRTH! - 30-04-06 - good old Lucky the dog, i had forgotten I had ever even owned him lulz" and then it seems so obvious you'll never understand how you forgot it.

There has to be a work around here.

You really can't figure out the pin? Man that's crazy. Were you barred out when you set up the account? I mean it's a 4 digit PIN. You should be able to crack it.

I find that the risk of getting scammed by not having 2FA enabled is greatly outweighted by the risk of not remembering the second authentication method and being thus locked out of the account.

Why did you make a new account? What are the advantages of a new account on AB


[1 Points] aircoft:

Don't give up, you'll probably remember it one of these days, just frequently try things you think you might have used... Worse case scenario you might be able to contact support, if the market you're using has a support team....
