Adding more security to Bitwarden user accounts | Bitwarden Blog
bitwarden.com
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.

      I have another 2FA app (Aegis) with the same keys added for my email and any other critical stuff.

      use any other 2FA app for your email so you aren’t in a 2FA loop.

      This is one of the reasons my main email is a (unique) password I still memorize, so if my password manager fails catastrophically I can still get in.

        I like to just use passwords I know with my brain.

          Thats fine if it works for you.

          My comment on all of this was purely that Bitwarden password was a single point of failure. Now we can shift that single point of failure somewhere else!

          I’m not sure what the solution is.
