Adding more security to Bitwarden user accounts | Bitwarden Blog

Bitwarden is bolstering user account security for logins from unrecognized devices. Learn more about what triggers the new verification process and who is affected.

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.

    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.
