ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

How do you people remember your ICQ numbers? I don't remember what I did last week half the time.

For some reason, I never used the "save login info" feature as a teen, I didn't trust that it was safe, so I typed it every time. Hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years. So even after 15 years or so of not using it, I still remember.
