They are usually quite a lot, so it is natural that they eventually forgotten. The operating system offers the AutoComplete feature for passwords and other information are often introduced in Internet Explorer. So it's not uncommon situation where the user enters the password once, and several months later, of course, can not remember it. Everyone understands that the important passwords need to write, but do so much more.
