What are your emergency plans for your password manager? (lemmy.ml)

I was just thinking about my password manager and use of 2FA. If I lost my phone or what if I get in some accident and have amnesia and cannot remember my master password. What would I do?

Any thoughts on solutions to the problem of losing your phone or some emergency medical condition?

Right now I export it periodically to an encrypted flash drive but I know that isn't sufficient. I run Vaultwarden and back up all my docker volumes hourly and replicate to S3 nightly.

Theoretically I should be able to recover but I need some off those passwords to do so. Ideally local caching or one of my exports should be sufficient but I haven't had time to actually test this.
