Hmmmm, that would not help me. My mother's maiden name is Rd8Hn#7y. My high school city is 97GrU3W$. And my childhood best friend is Cwp4Mz8d. No, I don't even trust my childhood best friend!Hit the "Forgot Password" link. If need be, answer the security questions, and generate a new password.

If my house burns down my laptop goes with it. Do I keep it on line in a cloud scenario instead and risk it being hacked by fraudsters?What are you going to do if your house burns down or do you keep that notebook in a safe?![]()
LOL Not really, no...wouldn’t you like the warm tingly feeling of a pword manager doing it for you ??
There is no cloud... it's just somebody else's computer!But what exactly is the cloud?
Someone can correct me if I am mistaken. The BitWarden encryption importance "leaving the device" is about syncing to other devices, right? When you log in to your bank, via any password manager, your passwords are sent in plain text... or else your bank would not be able to decrypt it. Your real point of trust then is the pipe, the https connection, that secures your plain text password between you and your bank. The password manager's encryption "on the device" is simply a padlock to protect it if someone steals your phone/computer or is somehow able to retrieve it from your cloud storage server (hack). No one is immune from hacks... ask Chase Bank, Equifax, et al.It is imperative to note that with BitWarden, the information that leaves your pc/mobile or cell phone, is ENCRYPTED .....BEFORE IT LEAVES THE DEVICE .
I trust it when *I* encrypted it.As @KGIII mentioned above, I have a script to compress and encrypt my KeePass vault (and a few other important files) and store it on a personal web server, not Dropbox or Google Drive.
