"The computer forgot my password" is new to me. lol good one.

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 99 points 10 months ago

I'm not IT, just a college instructor, but you'd be amazed at how many Gen Z students have told me that they can't log into their email because they don't know their own password. Not even forgot; they don't even know it in the first place because every device remembers everything for them.

[-] NotATurtle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 10 months ago

If they use a password manager and randomly generated passwords, then it's acceptable.

One of the reasons why I don't want to use a password manager, actually. If you get locked out of that, you're fucked.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Good ones have an unlock token or another one time use way of unlocking it in case you forget your master password.

Ease of syncing across devices has me using an internet-based password manager (Bitwarden), but I keep a second local-only password manager (Keepass) that only stores my Bitwarden password. Just in case.

Keepass

For those who want to keep their ass.

[-] PopShark@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Hey that’s real smart but what if you forget the Keepass password when trying to retrieve the Bitwarden password you forgot lol?

I use Bitwarden myself and love them. Great software great organization it seems. They didn’t even send any bullshit marketing “noooo come back YOULL LOSE EVERYTHING” emails companies love to send when you downgrade from paid to free tier and that right away bumps them up in my mind.

[-] doctordevice@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My wife and I also keep our Keepass passwords in each other's Bitwarden vaults.

So to lose access we'd both have to simultaneously forget our Bitwarden passwords AND be locked out of any biometric login. I consider that sufficiently unlikely.

Backups + OSS.

I use Bitwarden and JSON backups inside a 7zip. I ALWAYS backup after I make a new password that can’t be changed via email.
