My password manager failed me during an important client call yesterday

Bitwarden suddenly locked me out of my vault at 2 PM while I was pulling up login credentials for a secure file transfer, and I had to reset everything from scratch on the spot which took 20 awkward minutes - has anyone else dealt with a sudden vault lockout during a time-sensitive situation?

Bitwarden's timeout settings are completely adjustable. You probably had it set too aggressive for a work environment. Check your vault timeout action - mine is set to "lock" not "log out" so there's no full reset.

Wait, so yours is set to lock instead of log out? That changes everything actually. I had no idea that was even an option, I just assumed timeout meant the same thing for everyone.
