Comment on Ask HN: How'd you manage the password managers' master password?parent

Comments

I have both. But it isn't weaker. To be clear my gmail password and my password manager password are both 40-60 characters long.

I also have TOTP and a Yubikey and a Passkey etc etc.

I was more protecting myself against a situation where my password manager was unavailable AND I needed access to my email urgently. Which has happened at least twice to me in the past.

Though to be fair once was Lastpass about 15 years ago when they reset everyone's password because of suspicious logs in an abundance of caution. That's right there was a time they were a "good" organisation.
