not literally 2 miliseconds, but you get the point

This is why you get a password manager to manage the other password manager.
Bro… It’s password mangers all the way down…
And then you manage pwm2 with pwm1. Passception!
Nah, that’s passcursion
but what do you do if you’ve forgotten both passwords?
Cry.
Oh that’s easy. Just look on your bitward-- dammit
If you create a secure password in the first place and only ever use it for bitwarden whats the point in changing it?
Maybe they didn’t create a secure password in the first place…
Or they didn’t only use it for bitwarden…
If the password is used in more than 1 place, it’s not a secure 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.
Yes.
But Bitwarden generates them for me. So I remember my Bitwarden password and that’s about it
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.
Just use the browser extension to auto fill those passwords. I really don’t understand how it’s in any way inconvenient.
Bitwarden supports generating xkcd style passphrases
Bitwarden fills them in for me, so no problem at all. Or I can copy/paste it
Except like when I get a new phone, but that’s only like once every 2 years
Yes, I use Firefox to do so
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.
One of the many perks of Firefox honestly
So what if you have to log in on someone else’s device? Even if they use firefox, your passwords won’t be synced. How are you going to remember them?
I don’t login to my accounts on other people’s device’s
That’s a security concern and I take my privacy seriously
Get bitwarden, use same password for everything even bitwarden itself. Now that is giga brained.
Slowly raises hand and looks around. I really need to change that password but I’m so scared I’ll forget it 😂
How could I ever forget hunter2?
Noob, you gotta change your password sometimes, that’s why mine is hunterB
It happened to me once. I had to wipe my vault to reset the password. Fortunately I had a backup lying around. Folks remember to take regular backups.
How can a meme be so specific yet so relatable?
That’s one of the worst password to forget
I saved mine so I wouldn’t lose it! It’s in Bitwarden.
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
That’s why I prefer passphrases.
Like a good book about the history and culture of butterflies is way more secure than 6YXf%p+d@V and you might have even remembered it now.
That’s why you set your password to something funny so you remember.
My password was a dick joke for the longest time
My password was a dick joke for the longest time
I tried that but apparently that password was too short…
‘your mom’ should be big enough
Mine has a dick joke and a JoJo reference, so that I don’t forget it ever
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 ;)
Well, I had this happen to me. Gladly, my muscle memory helped me to get back the password.
Now I only remember 2 passwords, One my BW and one of my e-mail address linked to BW (2FA & etc).
I wasn’t that lucky. I had to nuke my account and start with passwords from 0.
Well it would honestly be a bummer if someone could reset my password of BW if somehow they gain access to my email associated with it.
Indeed. That’t when I knew that I had chosen the right solution. :)
Clearly the solution is to get a second password manager to manage your password manager password for you.
Your password manager solution should be like an onion

Time to change it now that everyone knows
Nah!
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.
