Master password and very long forgetful master password

From helping many people I see what a lot of people use but that doesn’t matter as I stated…

It doesn’t matter what 2FA you use, you should still write down your 2FA recovery code. Don’t expect your phone, Yubikey, or X to always be there.

We just had someone yesterday on the subreddit who uses 2FA have something go wrong and could have potentially been locked out and the general advice was to make sure you have your recovery code written down. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/nz83xz/authy_codes_failing/

I don’t know why you’re making excuses to not write down your recovery code? You act like your phone, computer, Yubikey, email account, or whatever will always be there no matter what. We don’t live in that perfect world so it’s smart to at least write down your recovery code and keep it somewhere safe.
