[–] dingus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (2 children) One of the reasons why I don't want to use a password manager, actually. If you get locked out of that, you're fucked. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Good ones have an unlock token or another one time use way of unlocking it in case you forget your master password. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] doctordevice@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Ease of syncing across devices has me using an internet-based password manager (Bitwarden), but I keep a second local-only password manager (Keepass) that only stores my Bitwarden password. Just in case. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 years ago Keepass For those who want to keep their ass. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PopShark@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hey that’s real smart but what if you forget the Keepass password when trying to retrieve the Bitwarden password you forgot lol? I use Bitwarden myself and love them. Great software great organization it seems. They didn’t even send any bullshit marketing “noooo come back YOULL LOSE EVERYTHING” emails companies love to send when you downgrade from paid to free tier and that right away bumps them up in my mind. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] doctordevice@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* My wife and I also keep our Keepass passwords in each other's Bitwarden vaults. So to lose access we'd both have to simultaneously forget our Bitwarden passwords AND be locked out of any biometric login. I consider that sufficiently unlikely. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago Backups + OSS. I use Bitwarden and JSON backups inside a 7zip. I ALWAYS backup after I make a new password that can’t be changed via email. permalink fedilink source parent
