Don't forget who you are talking to. I am the expert in this field.

Is the first sentence correct? Or should it be: with who or whom you are talking.

I am confused here, please help.

I understand that, in addition to the first sentence, using the word 'whom' is also possible but is overly formal. However, how would the word whom be used in the sentence?

Would it be: don't forget with whom you are talking; or don't forget whom you are talking to. I just got confused because you said 'with' who is wrong grammar, so I am thinking it might also be wrong for 'with whom'.
