[QUOTE="Lord Ami, post: 892577, member: 27919"] I use Bitwarden with the following configuration: [B]1. I always enter Master Password after browser is restarted.[/B] Why? With the option "Never", essentially your Master password and the content of the Vault is written and kept on your drive. That means that it can be stolen or tampered with. As far as I understand, entering Master password keeps the Vault and Master password in protected memory instance. This is much harder to break/tamper with. [B]2. I enter all the login details via CTRL + L shortcut.[/B] Why? Even though Auto-fill works, malicious frames and text boxes could theoretically be implemented in websites. Theoretically it would mean that you'd be entering login details without even knowing about it. [B]3. For 2FA-ing BW account: I use 2FA App (Aegis, protected) and Yubikey + Recovery codes[/B] Using email as a 2FA is not bad idea, but I'd use something more "offline" :) [B]4. I do use built-in TOTP feature (2FA code generator) for NON-CRITICAL logins. It makes life so much easier![/B] Not secure, but convenient as hell! All in all, if someone really wants to get access to your passwords, they will find a way. It's just about closing as much attack vectors as possible. I highly doubt me or someone else (the "Average Joe") will be targeted like that. [/QUOTE]
