Re: How do you store your Banking passwords?

I wish Bitwarden had 2fa so when I put in the master password I had to accept it on my phone, I did this on last pass.

Edit

it looks like it does.

Edit 2

I enabled it but it doesn't seem to do anything when logging into the mobile app, must be doing something wrong it only seems to request the Authenticator when logging in directly to the Bitwarden site, can't see how this would be useful to me as i want the 2fa when logging into Bitwarden app on PC and Mobile.

I only do that with my current account, all others far too complex.

FYI

Quote:

LastPass, one of the leading password managers, said that hackers obtained a wealth of personal information belonging to its customers as well as encrypted and cryptographically hashed passwords and other data stored in customer vaults.

The revelation, posted on Thursday, represents a dramatic update to a breach LastPass disclosed in August. At the time, the company said that a threat actor gained unauthorized access through a single compromised developer account to portions of the password manager's development environment and "took portions of source code and some proprietary LastPass technical information." The company said at the time that customers’ master passwords, encrypted passwords, personal information, and other data stored in customer accounts weren't affected.

In Thursday’s update, the company said hackers accessed personal information and related metadata, including company names, end-user names, billing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and IP addresses customers used to access LastPass services. The hackers also copied a backup of customer vault data that included unencrypted data such as website URLs and encrypted data fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data.

You missed the important notes ..

Quote:

These encrypted fields remain secured with 256-bit AES encryption and can only be decrypted with a unique encryption key derived from each user’s master password using our Zero Knowledge architecture

Quote:

As a reminder, the master password is never known to LastPass and is not stored or maintained by LastPass. The encryption and decryption of data is performed only on the local LastPass client.

I am currently unable to access my Bitwarden account ;

An error has occurred.
Traffic from your network looks unusual. Connect to a different network or try again later.

This is absolutely ridiculous, blocking me from my own passwords. :rolleyes:

I'm currently unable to login to my B.Gas account as BW was the only place I have the password stored, same with many other recent sites.
I will be exporting all my data as soon as they fix this block, and looking for an alternative, I previously used LastPass, and may end up going back to them.

I much prefer using the banks dedicated app on my phone as with a computer not only could there be malicious software on the machine such as a keylogger, you could end up on a different site imitating your bank alltogether.

No issues accessing the bitwarden app on my phone but not sure if that would be affected if the main site is down.

Same here with NatWest which is why I only partially write them down.

Just noticed this. Have all my passwords in my head , however I do not have that many sites i need them for. Was told many years ago that if you remember an artist per site ,then think of a line of a song you like by them , putting in a 4 digit number in the middle with a symbol in front and rear and use that, never had a problem to date!!!! But also have VPN , anti this and that . Honesty they are very different for each site ,.however most I wouldn't to use at all if I didn't have to ,do I care if someone can get on my pets at home site! :rolleyes: also nothing is stored on any m.c

Its not saying the main site is down, its saying I'm trying to login from a "network" it considers dodgy, and has blocked it (i.e. my normal Virgin Media IP).

The mere fact they can just block my access for some random reason is a huge red flag for me.

You cant do anything without a bloody code being sent to your phone these days anyway.

Scammers are getting cleverer and 2 step verification is no longer foolproof.
