I genuinely forgot my phone pin for ~12 hours.

A pseudo-pattern, because #grapheneOS doesn't allow actual patterns on the basis they are less secure 🙃

Managed to shift the 2 starting numbers to one side. After ~60 brute-force attempts from this incorrect starting position, my intuition/desperation lead me to the correct start position -> success 👴

Super insecurity-inducing episode. (And what about accident induced memory loss? Dementia? Perhaps biometric #passkeys solve it all /s) #infosec
what about when your phone restarts?
lol. Yeah, I also have fingerprint set up.
KeePass. Use KeePass.
I use keepass thanks: when traveling with phone only, issue remains.
There are KeePass packages for Android as well as IOS.
You only have to pay attention, that the data file gets synchronized with your phone.

yes, I use keepassdx on my phone, and sync my keyfile using nextcloud - the original issue I posted remains!
Store your PINs, patterns and passphrases in a KeePassXC container with a very good passphrase which has a physical backup written down somewhere safe.

You might also describe this physical backup and the process in your will. Highly recommend.
previous comment already mentions keepass, please see my answer there.

Nice idea about will.
I wrote KeePassXC on purpose. I would not recommend KeePass any more.

IMHO, there is no solution for the use-case when you're away from your password manager and you forgot your phone credential without losing a certain level of security.

I'd say, you have to wait until you return to your computer.

This is why I prefer not to depend on the phone too much: no mobile payment, no apps for my airplant QR, ... YMMV.

If you prefer convenience over security, the answer is different.
