<p>If a site's password is no longer showing, just add the site
back and the password will re-appear, provided you used the right
name and master password to create your account.</p></div>Maarten Billemonttag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-07-23T01:05:11Z2016-07-23T01:05:12ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>But what if I can’t recall the name of the site cause, for
instead, I didn’t write “hotmail account” but
instead something else, there’s no way I can have access to
the “sites” I wrote?</p></div>Ainhoa Muguerzatag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-07-23T01:07:00Z2016-07-23T01:07:00ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>That would be a problem. This is why we recommend to always,
always use the bare domain name of a site, eg. apple.com,
facebook.com, microsoft.com, etc. That way, there is nothing to
remember.</p>
<p>If you cannot recover your passwords because you cannot remember
one of the givens, you will need to reset your passwords using your
email address or whatever password reset mechanisms your site
provides you.</p></div>Maarten Billemonttag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-07-23T01:19:56Z2016-07-23T01:19:57ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>I see. Many thanks.</p>
<p>However, I suggest this being better explained cause I never
read anything about that recommendation. Nevertheless I’ll
keep that in mind for next times.</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p></div>Ainhoa Muguerzatag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-08-05T15:34:46Z2016-08-05T15:34:47ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>I use the format
<code>${bare_domain_name}\${site_username}</code>. That's because
on some sites my username is also something like a handle, so I
don't want to use a generated username. Also because I have
multiple accounts on some sites. I feel like the "correct" way to
do things would be to have a separate mpw identity for each online
identity; maybe I'll switch to that some day...</p></div>Stephen Micheltag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-08-05T15:36:44Z2016-08-05T15:36:44ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>I recommend using the format <code>[username]@[domain
name]</code> for your site name instead. It follows the URN
standard and will integrate nicely once I get around to creating UI
integration for this feature.</p></div>Maarten Billemonttag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-08-06T03:15:47Z2016-08-06T03:15:47ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>I was going to do that, but autocompletion starts immediately if
the domain comes first. I could use bare domain names for sites
where a specific username is not important and your format for when
it is, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a standardized
format.</p>
<p>But maybe most people don't care about saving 10 keystrokes..

doesn't begin with the letters you type.</p></div>Maarten Billemonttag:help.masterpassword.app,2014-09-03:Comment/403894162016-09-27T16:15:20Z2016-09-27T16:15:20ZLOST ALL MY PASSWORDS, PLEASE HELP!!<div><p>This is not working for me in the java version on Fedora 24.</p></div>Stephen Michel
