Years ago before I practice good backup strategies, I lost access to a lastpass account that had a few accounts that arent important now but at the time felt as if the world ended. I did manage to regain access to them since I had my email credentials written down but damn backups are important
I go with a standalone desktop password manager and make sure to back it up once in while, especially if there’s no email linked to a new account. If I update my email password, I always immediately back it up.
Yeah thats reasonable but honestly the benefits outweight the risks imo. Just dont be an idiot like old me and backup everything important using the 3,2,1 rule and youll be fine

This is one of the biggest reasons password managers scare me

What’s the 3 2 1 rule?
The Tldr: 3 copies on 2 different storage devices with 1 copy also being offsite
Oh neat, thanks! I’m gonna have to start doing that
