I was just thinking about my password manager and use of 2FA. If I lost my phone or what if I get in some accident and have amnesia and cannot remember my master password. What would I do?

Any thoughts on solutions to the problem of losing your phone or some emergency medical condition?

I keep my vault password in fireproof containers in two separate off-site locations. And I use BitWarden, which has an emergency access process. I would assume many other vaults do too.

2FA backups are also stored in locations separate from where I have the vault password.

I also backup my vault a few times a year and keep those encrypted in another digital location.
