I recently had a drive die on me.

Everything was backed up. My passwords were safely stored. But it was going to take some time to get to them.

I did have my Google password, so I logged in. I was on a different computer, a different OS, a different network. I was asked to enter my Google Authenticator number, and then BAMM I got access to everything.

I realised just how scary the Google 'Save passwords' thing is.

I trust Google, and I know they have smart people working on security.

We've seen similar where someone having their Google account hacked lost access to everything.

This should be part of your back up / disaster planning. I guess there's a niche for a single page check-list of what people should be storing 'just in case'.
