What are your emergency plans for your password manager?

I was just thinking about my password manager and use of 2FA. If I lost my phone or what if I get in some accident and have amnesia and cannot remember my master password. What would I do?

Any thoughts on solutions to the problem of losing your phone or some emergency medical condition?

xilliah,

Encrypt it to a thumb drive and split the password up between people you trust in envelopes.

Related software. You can split a file up and only need some parts back to encrypt it.

NGL, you’d probably have bigger problems than remembering passwords if that’s the case.

This is true, but it’s worse to have two problems.

EatYouWell,

Keep it in a fire safe or safe deposit box.

Just follow the 3-2-1 backup rule. 3 copies in 2 different mediums with 1 stored off site.

Similarly, I have a post-it on my monitor

When you type out your password, does it show like when I type my password? ******* is my password, what’s yours?
