halmex Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) My phone broke recently and I had to use a Google backup token to access my account again. Due to this event I thought about my device, password manager and backup setup and discovered that I have circular dependencies in the event I lose access to all/most of my devices. Do you have a plan in case something happens? Are there any structured resources or examples on how to plan and handle dependencies if something happens for personal use cases?

Szeth Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I use 1password as a password manager, with MFA in either Authy or 1password for the most part. For 1password (and a few other “critical” things) I have the mfa tied to a yubikey, so in the event I lose or destroy my phone I can still get back into it. Authy is also tied to my phone number so can get that back pretty easily too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stollenvalor Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I had a real world exercise of that myself. Fortunately the backups I had of my password manager and authenticators restored without issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
