Okay.

See here’s the thing:

You have to remember:

  1. BIOS password (you’re supposed to set one, right? I mean… so your that sibling/roomate/kids/family doesnt mess around and replace your OS with a malicious OS)
  2. Full Disk Encryption password and then finally
  3. The user password

Like that kinds breaks my brain

Do y’all just put those in your password manager… then only have to remember

  1. Master Password to password vault and
  2. Phone lockscreen

Is this the “Standard Operating Procedure”?

But if you are paranoid and set a full alphanumeric password/passphrase… then you have to remember two differen passphrases…

Or couldn’t you just simplify it to like just ONE, like:

Can you have the same password for Phone Lockscreen as the Password Vault Master Password?

So that you Only ever need to remember exactly ONE password

Is this a good idea?

My head hurts from this…

Idk how to do this…

I wanna simplify my digital stuff… my stuff is so disorganized…

    Password managers are best for accounts that can be accessed from anywhere.

    For device specific passwords I do have those passwords stored in my vault but those are ones I remember because I need them to access the vault to prevent a chicken and egg problem.

      I set up Bitwarden for my wife and parents. They then only access this stuff via mobile and login with fingerprint. They then change to a new device and don’t remember any passwords at all and come to me to reset all their account passwords and rebuild a new Bitwarden password database. They don’t even know the password for their main Gmail account with their Android phones. I now keep their main Gmail password in my own Bitwarden and set this as their recovery account for everything. It’s painful being the family tech support guy.

        access this stuff via mobile and login with fingerprint.

        Watch out if you ever change your stored fingerprint on the mobile. Or just switch the fingerprint login feature off for 5 minutes and then on again.

        The virtual connection gets lost (to all things and services that had relied on your fingerprint) and you need the real passwords everywhere, at least once.
