Another option I don't ever see people mention... is to get a list of all your email addresses and usernames you've used and there are websites you can check if those emails/usernames were comprised in data leaks and then you can find passwords used with those old email/usernames by downloading those data leaks. I was able to recover some old non-bitcoin related accounts because I was able to search my email address against over a billion records and found passwords I completely forgot I used to use all the time back in 2005-2009.

That's a great suggestion. One of the websites is https://haveibeenpwned.com/


I have a bitcoin wallet file (2016)
I only remember the first password I used
after that I changed my password for the second time, Unfortunately I forgot my password
I just wanted to ask people how to recover my wallet
thank.......

Another question that can be asked is whether you are creating passwords that make logical sense in understanding the meaning of a particular word or combination of words from a dictionary. If your current passwords for different services look like this, then the chances of a successful brute-force are better than with completely random passwords generated from the generator. Assuming, of course, that the password you have changed does not break the types of passwords you set.
