After that disaster with LastPass I’ll never trust any password safe anymore, keepass, self hosted, but that’s just me. Plus: you have to type the password so often in the beginning and during config, you’ll never forget it ;)
If you saved the master password in BW as well and have it installed on another device like a phone, would it work to put the phone on airplane mode before opening the app so the vault doesn’t refresh? Also, does changing the master password automatically remove the pin lock so you’re forced to use the master password to get back in?
Yes, if it disconnected and is unable to sync, you can still access the vault.
If you change the master password elsewhere, when your app is able to sync, it will log out automatically.
Ideally, since you want to write your master password down to keep it safe somewhere (because you can forget), you write the new password down before you change the password.
Do you invent a completely unique password for every account you make? I get that a password manager will help you remember them but even coming up with new passwords is hard at this point.
That’s true but I’d rather have a password I can type out within 10 seconds. The ones generated by bitwarden are just a bunch of random characters, which is definitely very secure, but also incredibly inconvenient.
There is absolutely a workaround to use Bitwarden nearly everywhere (except for your computer login or your phone PIN, but you probably have biometrics for that anyways).
That doesn’t work more often than it does work, at least for me. And then there are sites that for some reason have a page where you just put in the email or username, then a separate page for the password BW gets hella confused by that shit.
By default it has a means of generating unique passwords for every account I make. Not only that but in your saved passwords it will highlight the ones that share a password so you can go there and change the passwords.
You have to make a Firefox account so that you can sync it across all of your devices but it works great for me on multiple PCs and my phone.
It’s also the only one I could possibly forget, cause I obviously don’t know any of the randomly generated ones. I probably never even seen 99% of them ever. Blissful ignorance
