  "textContent": "Colter:\n\n> But maybe I could forget my master password.\n\nWriting down is a good practice as @Lukas points out. Ideally, what you’re writing down isn’t the password itself.\n\nThe password manager may provide a way to securely recover the vault through high-entropy escrow keys (typically, 32 bytes; 64 hex characters), which are enrolled by the user & can be rotated at will (while the user still remembers the password). These escrow keys are written down somewhere and kept safe in lieu of the password.",
