Beware the Single Point of Failure
Reliance on device-specific pass keys for services like Bitwarden can compromise security. Losing the device results in losing access to both the stored data and the authentication mechanism, which undermines the security principle of having both something you know and something you have. While Bitwarden is a strong password manager, its two-factor authentication system, based on pass keys tied to individual devices, poses risks. If the device is lost, users are left vulnerable, highlighting the need for careful consideration of security scenarios and the integration of truly independent two-factor systems that do not consolidate inherent risks.
