Especially for personal accounts.

I get why a corporation would require it for employees…

But I hate it when Apple, Samsung, etc. are forcing you to have 2fa, especially by requiring a phone number.

Side note: Bitwarden will be requiring email verification codes starting in February 2025, for those who haven’t enabled 2fa yet (see my Post in YSK). Most people store their email credentials in their password vault… so a lot of people are gonna get locked out of their bitwarden vaults. I kinda hate it, especially on such sort notice (less than 10 days).

    This is something thats actually scary. Phones are so necessary now that when it breaks you could be digitially stranded, unable to log in to anything

      I remember reading of a privacy-aware couple who were each others’ “backups” in case one lost access. Well, they lost their house in a fire, along with their personal backups, and their “backup person” couldn’t access their cloud backups either.

      I’m an old-fashioned believer in the 3-2-1 -rule. Three copies of important data, two of them on different media, and one offsite. And make sure you can access all of them without the other two.

      So like one password database on phone (even if it’s offline, like most password apps have); one on the computer (like you probably want for use too?), and one in the cloud without need of either device or anything onsite to unlock (in my case, I’ve set up Bitwarden emergency access to someone in another country, and have a second Yubikey with a more local friend).
