To get into your Bitwarden account from a new device you need either your master password and your 2FA
or…
Your master password and your 2FA recovery code.
Both your 2FA device and recovery code are randomly generated codes and you don’t memorize them. Without either of those random codes, you can’t get into your Bitwarden account from a new device. If those are random and you don’t memorize them and you need them to get in your account why also try to remember your master password too? Why not make your master password random like the 2FA code and 2FA recovery code?
If you’re concerned about getting into an extension or app you already unlocked before you can set a PIN lock and uncheck the box that requires you to enter your master password after restart. And since it’s good practice to have your master password and recovery code written down in a safe place and also keeping a copy in your password manager to stop phishing attacks as I’ve pointed out with the BitSwarden event having a random master password is not inconvenient. It’s just another random code just like your 2FA and recovery code, it’s also like them because you don’t need to do it often due to PIN or Biometric unlock.
A random master password you don’t remember is as inconvenient as the random 2FA code or random recovery code you also don’t remember.
You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to but it’s also not as inconvenient or bad as you make it to be.
If OP wants to use a random master password he doesn’t memorize but has followed all best practices let him do it. You guys shouldn’t force your ways of thinking on someone else as everyone’s situation is not the same. I have this very setup for my own mother as she would pick a very bad master password and it has not inconvenience her, if anything she found it easier as it’s one less thing for her to remember. She’s also had this setup for over 2 years now, so the track record is fine.
That’s the great thing about Bitwarden, it allows us this flexibility as everyone’s situation is not the same.
