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?

    Keepass 2 also has an emergency sheet you can print as well to hide in a safe. It has all of your passwords and master passwords too. Keep another one offsite (plus USB stick with kbdx file) and you’ll be good.

      “Keepass2” seems like it’s an Android app. I will never store my passwords on a device which is literally designed to steal your data. Granted, it’s probably still a million times better than trying to trust someone like Lastpass, but I’m paranoid.

        Keepass 2 is an open source software for desktop that was ported to Android and iOS. Frankly both phones and desktops spy on you so much I don’t consider either any more secure.

          Android has a Linux kernel that sits on top of another locked down kernel which has full access to everything, in binary blobs that prevent recreation of the environment by you or I from source code. There’s a big difference.
