I assume you learned (what could have been a very painful) lesson, then?
Best practice is to create an Emergency Sheet (in two or more copies, securely stored in different locations), which at a minimum, should document the following information:
- Your Bitwarden server URL (
bitwarden.comorbitwarden.eu, or self-hosted server URL) - Your Bitwarden the username (email address)
- Your Bitwarden master password
- Your Bitwarden two-step login recovery code
- The file password for your vault exports (backups).
Also helpful information to record would be:
- Username/password required to log in to your device.
- Username/password required to log in to your email account (the email address used for your Bitwarden username).
- Username/password required to log in to your authenticator app.
- Authenticator keys (TOTP “secret”/“seed”) used for 2FA to access your Bitwarden account or your email account.
- User verification PIN for passkeys.
- Contact information for any Emergency Access grantees.
