Reminder for Bitwarden users: Starting in February, users without two-step login (2FA) enabled will need to enter a verification code sent to their email when logging in from an unrecognized device (bitwarden.com)

Bitwarden users who store their email account credentials within their Bitwarden vaults would have trouble accessing the sent codes if they are unable to log in to their email.

To prevent getting locked out of your vault, be sure you can access the email associated with your Bitwarden account so you can access the emailed codes, or turn on any form of two-step login to not be subject to this process altogether.

I remember two passwords. My email and my password manager. Oh, and one of my banks.

Locking the key in the vault, or the backup vault, didn't make sense to me. It also made sense for me to have access to one bank even if I lose both "vaults".

My email pass is over 25 more or less random characters that I change about once a year. That's why I use bitwarden!
