Currently I use Bitwarden for storing passwords and Aegis for 2fa. Is is okay to store recovery codes in my Bitwarden vault or I should store them in somewhere else like Tresorit, Dropbox with cryptomator.

    If you have bitwarden with 2fa then you might be fucked up if your phone stops working. I decided to print them out + have them stored on 2gb micro sd card. None of my backups code is stored on cloud or device with internet acces, its just safer.

      Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.

      True. That’s why I use Aegis on my tablet which only generates tokens for my Bitwarden vault. All other tokens are generated inside my Bitwarden vault.
