Bitwarden users who store their email account credentials within their Bitwarden vaults would have trouble accessing the sent codes if they are unable to log in to their email.
To prevent getting locked out of your vault, be sure you can access the email associated with your Bitwarden account so you can access the emailed codes, or turn on any form of two-step login to not be subject to this process altogether.
Where do you store your 2FA recovery codes?
On my home PC. Same with the 2fa export of aegis.
“What if you can’t access blah”There’s a limit to interoperability, if you want access to everything everywhere even when you lose access for whatever reason, you will have to concede security.You could save a keepass file with secure notes of both the bitwarden 2fa and recovery codes and save it in drive or whatever, you don’t need passwords nowadays to access the Google account.“But what if I lose access to my phone?”Well you are fucked, what else do you want? I guess you could print the recovery keys and store them in a secured box at home.Edit: I read further down that your comment was meant to incite other to actually think and do stuff. Sorry if I came of rude.
On Bitwarden!
Well thats a good way to lock yourself out of your account!
Well, not really. Vault is cached on your devices, so if you have it unlocked or available on one of them you can always use it to check your 2FA.
By the way, it was a joke. I also use Aegis as a backup.
two places:
\1. secure location in your home (physical copy in a safe or a digital copy on an encrypted disk)
\2. in case of a disaster like a home fire where you lose the 2FA device and local backup: in a remote location such as an encrypted file in a cloud service or at a trusted friend/family’s house.
I know the recommendations. Im suggesting that everyone take a look at those practices and be sure to have them implemented.
If you’re not printing out the codes on paper and sticking them in a safe deposit box as a remote backup, you’re absolutely risking it.
ok, sorry for answering what appeared to be a genuine question.
Nah you hit the nail on the head. I 100% agree with you. Sorry if I came off brash.
