I have a question, Would it be risky to download in plain text all my passwords from RoboForm or Bitwarden and store it in my cryptomator vault in a folder. My concern is IF anything happened to RoboForm or Bitwarden & I could not get in, at least I could get into my cryptomator vault & find the csv file & see all my passwords.
I do have encrypted copies of my .csv files in cryptomator BUT am not sure IF I can see the passwords without importing them back to RoboForm or Bitwarden. The likelihood of this scenario ever happening is slim to none,
I have used RoboForm for 15 years and Bitwarden for about 5 years and never had any issues. I use Bitwarden as a backup as I prefer RoboForm But still have Bitwarden just in case but being security conscious, I have reservations about anything unencrypted.
If the export is a CSV file you should be able to open it with Excel or some other Excel like product. It should have all of your data in columns so that it can be imported into another password manager I presume.
For passwords I use a program modeled after keepass called keepassxc.
And keepassdx on mobile.
The distinctive advantage over using just to CSV file and storing it in a vault you would have a usable password manager that can autofill web browser login codes for example.
Cryptomator is designed to take plain text files like you have and encrypt them so they are protected and safe.
Thank you for the reply, As I suspected it should be ok & I can use excel to see my passwords, I will store the .csv file and if needed, I will use excel to view the info stored on that file IF in the unlikely event I cannot import it back to RoboForm or Bitwarden.
From my point of view, maintaining 2 password managers is error prone. And if you ever miss an entry in one, how would you compare the two databases?
Personally, I have defined 4 Cryptomator vaults. 1) my documents, 2) my music, 3) my images and 4) my local “information” folder that contains receipts, user manual in pdf, former version of installed software, etc. The reason for this setup is to ease the rebuilding of the vault in case something goes wrong.
These vaults are synced with OneDrive and are protected with very long passwords( > 40 characters).
In that situation, it is easier to remember one Roboform master password and keep the vaults password in Roboform.
Beside this setup, I also have regular backups on USB disks and on my NAS.
Like you, my moto in life is “better to worry than to be sorry “.
