Please let me know if "ask" should be present perfect as it relates to the loss of my password or present simple. I think present perfect is better. Maybe "realise" should be present perfect too?


Now the same scenario in the past:



I wanted to order something on the internet. I realised that I had lost my password, I asked for it but it had not reached me yet. I wanted to order something on the internet. I realised that I had lost my password, I had asked for it but it had not reached me yet.
