What are your emergency plans for your password manager? (lemmy.ml)

I was just thinking about my password manager and use of 2FA. If I lost my phone or what if I get in some accident and have amnesia and cannot remember my master password. What would I do?

Any thoughts on solutions to the problem of losing your phone or some emergency medical condition?

Keep it in a fire safe or safe deposit box.

Just follow the 3-2-1 backup rule. 3 copies in 2 different mediums with 1 stored off site.

When you type out your password, does it show like when I type my password? ******* is my password, what's yours?
