> Heck, touch-typing is so ingrained in my brain that I sometimes recall how to type a word to remember how to spell it.

I've often completely forgotten passwords and had to rely on this muscle memory to regain access.

I once was so high on MDMA that I could barely speak let alone type something because I just could not understand anything. Not only could I not remember my password, I could not keep my eyes steady enough to see the letters on the keyboard.

I had to unlock my laptop to play some music so I just tried to relax and let my fingers do the thing. I did it.

I once had to leave a meeting to find a keyboard to be able to relay a password to someone over the phone by looking at what I was typing.
