That Wednesday my password manager locked me out of 40 accounts

Spent 6 hours on hold with support after a sync error reset my vault, and now I'm rebuilding everything from scratch with handwritten backups like it's 1999 - anyone else ever had a cloud sync nuke their vault?

Read a security blog post last week that said about 15% of people have lost access to accounts because of password manager sync messing up. Its a huge problem that nobody talks about until it happens to them. The handwritten backup thing feels like going back to the stone age but at least you know its safe from cloud bugs. Three years ago I had a similar issue with a different service and lost everything including my crypto wallet logins. Now I keep a physical notebook in a fire safe with all my passwords written down. The cloud convenience just isnt worth the risk when you see how easily it can all disappear.

Same thing happened to me last year, awful feeling. @leo612 is right about the notebook.
