With no local vault in 1PW8, what's the disaster recovery plan?
My primary vault is synced via Dropbox, and I semi-regularly update an offsite physical hard drive with a copy of the vault. The only password I know is the One Password for that vault.
I can lose...
No, I don't know my Microsoft account password, because it's generated. I set up a "passwordless" Microsoft account with 2 factor auth. The 2nd factor is the phone. For Microsoft account recovery, I can tell the recovery website to text me the recovery code for login, and so I need a new SIM card on the new phone with the old (registered) telephone number.
This is really the last resort if everything is gone.
Usually there are always some devices left with stored credentials somewhat. As standard, I carry my smartphone around everywhere. It has become a key, you know. You also take your keys everywhere. If just this is saved, there is no issue at all to bootstrap from it. Not even a recovery is necessary. And then there is a login on the Windows PC of my father in another town, so this device is registered and I can login with Windows Hello with my PIN on it, as long as my father doesn't break his PC.
