Yes, when you need to remember something, especially urgently, the tension of each gyrus is felt in the head. Consciousness wanders convulsively through the neurons of the hemispheres in search of the correct answer. But he must be in these very neurons, he is just hiding, probably in some secluded corner of memory.

And if you're lucky, the research does not last long: “Oh, that's how! Oh, how could I forget! " And if not ... the outcomes may already be different. For example, such as those of Chekhov's heroes, who guessed the "horse" surname ... Hmmm, only chance helped them.

But in our case, dear reader, to find out a forgotten e-mail address, we can strain not only our own head, but also the computer, the resources of global networks. It is very possible that they will be able to show us an e-mail (eh, well, what is this e-mail address ?!).

So let the secret be revealed. Still, let's try to find the address lost in memory.

1. Contact your friends, acquaintances, colleagues, in general, to all those people with whom you corresponded via e-mail with a request to see messages from you in their mail profiles. In letters, in the "From" line, there will be the login of your e-mail box, that is, the sender's address.

2. If you used your lost e-mail to register on social networks, websites and forums, open your account there (log in) and go to the panel with personal data. As a rule, the address of the specified box is displayed in the panel.

An example of how to do this on ok.ru:
Change settings (link under the avatar) → the "General" tab → the line "Email address. mail "(here you can find the lost! - mailbox login)

3. Try to ask the search engines what your email address is. Type your first and last name in the search box. Perhaps an indexed page will appear in the search results with this same e-mail on the social network or on the online service that you used.

4. If the "Autocomplete" option is enabled in your browser, place the cursor in the login field (in the authorization panel of the mail service). There is a chance that the address will be displayed in a tooltip (a drop-down list of snippets).

5. Open the "Save Passwords" setting in your browser. If it is enabled and the cache has not been cleared, the mail login will be displayed in the list of saved credentials.

Example for Google Chrome:
Settings → Passwords and forms → Prompt to save passwords ... → Change (link in the same line)
