If you saved the master password in BW as well and have it installed on another device like a phone, would it work to put the phone on airplane mode before opening the app so the vault doesn't refresh? Also, does changing the master password automatically remove the pin lock so you're forced to use the master password to get back in?

  1. Yes, if it disconnected and is unable to sync, you can still access the vault.
  2. If you change the master password elsewhere, when your app is able to sync, it will log out automatically.

Ideally, since you want to write your master password down to keep it safe somewhere (because you can forget), you write the new password down before you change the password.
