Emergency Kit Generation ( à la the 1Password Emergency Kit)
Feature function
Automate generation of a simple (text/pdf) file, containing account details EXCEPT the master password.
Reason: I store all this information IN my Bitwarden vault, because it’s my safe place. However, that’s not a great place for it to be if I can’t access it, for some reason
Example: Here’s a version that I’m currently using (and getting my referrals / friends to use too) - It’s just a text file, but it’s also Markdown compliant:
# Bitwarden Emergency Kit

Where do you envision that this would live? It probably would not be possible to implement it anywhere but in the Web Vault.
Also, the 2FA recovery code is sensitive information, and should not be saved to persistent storage on the device unless special precautions are taken (e.g., setting the browser’s default download directory to point to an encrypted container).
