Many times we have been recommended to use a #password manager but I personally have not heard on tips to #backup my password #database. Any #tips?

Also do you store your #2fa #totp secrets in a completely separate database from your password manager (ex. #bitwarden , #keepassxc, #1password )? If so, how do you remember it? How do you avoid circular dependency?

Please boost so I/we can benefit from multiple viewpoints. Thanks #fedi !!! :)

@slashdot I keep my passwords and 2FA codes in two separate keepassxc databases. You have to commit two passwords to memory. Albeit my 2FA password is much simpler than my master. It’s simply a few diceware words that I have memorized. It’s a good idea to consider keeping those recovery codes in a third database.

Just keep proper 3-2-1 backups and you’ll be fine. When I was using Bitwarden, I exported the database into a veracrypt container that I could then store anywhere.

@jordan_kendrick I am having a similar of backing up but I don't think my memory is that reliable to remember more than 2 different passwords. Have you ever made an emergency sheet writing down these passwords?
@slashdot @jordan_kendrick I never have, but you certainly could. That’s just one more thing you would have to account for when determining your personal level of risk tolerance.
