Summary
- Having a backup of your password manager is essential as, like any digital platform, it is susceptible to crashes and bugs.
- This can be achieved by exporting passwords from your password manager and storing them in an encrypted hard drive or cloud storage.
- This applies to Google passwords, 1Password, NordPass, and Proton Pass.
- It is important to note that exporting passwords in CSV format makes them vulnerable, so they should be moved to a secure location as soon as possible.
- It is advisable to update your backups regularly, at least twice a year, to ensure new passwords are not forgotten.
- Furthermore, it is important to store your backup in a safe location, somewhere only you will have access to.
Having a backup plan for your password manager is inevitable for ensuring you can access your accounts in the event of digital mishaps.
