Honestly, my password manager glitched and locked me out of everything for two hours yesterday
Ngl, I was updating my master password on Bitwarden when the sync failed and I had to use backup codes from a file I thankfully kept on a USB drive in my drawer, so has anyone else had a close call with their password manager and what's your backup plan?

Oh man, that's the worst feeling! I keep a printed sheet of my most important passwords and recovery codes in a locked firebox at home. It feels a little old school, but after my manager once failed to auto-fill on a new device, I decided I needed a physical backup I could actually touch. That USB drive idea is smart, too. You just never think you'll need it until you're totally locked out.

Wait, you keep a printed sheet of your main passwords? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of using a manager for security? I only keep the backup codes and the master password itself on paper, locked away. The actual passwords stay in the vault.
