So I’m using bit warden self hosted and now I’m freaking out about the very real possibility of my passwords getting stolen or lost in a fire. Having passwords on my phone makes no sense.

We need some sort of distributed password manager safety net. Like I keep your passwords safe if you keep mine. But how can I trust you? Can you trust me?

    It’s a bit sad that you’re downvoted so hard. You obviously have good intentions, just not having a good grasp yet if I may be frank. The solutions in this post are what you should follow IMO. In short, USB thumb/hdd drives with your important data. Encrypt the whole USB if your devices are under Linux if you wish. Use a proper password manager like KeePass to secure it additionally, with a strong master password of course.

      No worries. I am taking notes on all that is said. I should probably work with my brothers in law to back up their stuff here so they can let me backup my stuff there. That way if my house goes up in flames I can drive there and get me a copy. Lots of good ideas being posted.

        Yeah that’s a great idea! I use that too. An encrypted USB drive makes sure you can trust the data not leaking, and spaced repetition can (should) be practiced to memoize the password. Then you’re good I’d say.
