I went a controversial route and chosen to not remember my master password.
"back up your vault before changing the master password"
My master password is long and completely random. I print it out and put it in my safe along with the backup code for the 2FA. No one expects me to remember my backup code so why remember my master password? I’m not getting in my vault without one or the other.
For all my devices I use the PIN unlock. Your data is still encrypted if you use the PIN and unlocking with the PIN is so much easier than your master password.
I also have a copy of my master password in my Bitwarden vault in case I’m logged out of one device I can use another to retype the master password, but this doesn’t happen often. If that fails I still have a copy in my safe. When Bitwarden gets the emergency access feature that will be something else I can use too.
At first, I thought this idea was stupid but then realized this is what 1Password does for the secret key. The secret key is a randomly generated password that is attached to your master password, without it you won’t get in your 1Password vault. 1Password doesn’t force you to remember the secret key and instead, they have you store it somewhere safe. It’s also nice knowing no one is going to crack my master password because it’s random and super long, longer than what I could ever remember.
I also do regular backups of my vault too.
What I’m doing is very advance I’ll admit that but I did get a password manager so I would not have to remember any passwords. Just something to think about.
