>but in most cases that's not going to be believed by a jury.
Is there are least some argument of reasonability? I have an old Runescape account I would love to be able to get back into, but I don't even remember the email it was tied to, much less the password. I was a kid back then so even the card that paid for membership was my parents. Is there some expectation that the prosecutor has to show the account was accessed in the last X years, or is this effectively a backdoor to keep someone in prison indefinitely?
A jury is gonna believe you forgot the password for an account you haven't accessed in X years. They're not gonna believe, without a lot of evidence, that you forgot the code to the smartphone you use every day.
And that's assuming that the judge even considers it reasonable.
