Something broke with Bitwarden? Might be good to export a backup just in case (lemmy.ca)

I started having issues opening a password protected entry across extensions/desktop/mobile. Went to https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/ and there are a bunch of posts in the past few days talking about similar issues

How do you guys keep your Bitwarden backed up? This reminded me to properly set that up. For now, I just exported the file and left it encrypted on a separate drive.

It's definetly a good idea to export a backup just in case. I have a local desktop backup with KeePassXC and every couple of months or so I export the file, encrypt it and upload a copy on proton drive and another on a personal external drive

Any quick guides on how to set up the keypads portion? Does it automatically sync or do you schedule it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You mean the keypads for KeepassXC? There is a list of shortcuts for it, but maybe I misunderstood your question.

The database syncs automatically whenever you edit anything, but to be safe I manually create an updated copy and upload it myself to always have an updated copy in case of loss (which has happened to me before with a previous laptop lol).

IF you wanted, it also has a browser extension, just like Bitwarded does
