This sends some schadenfreude into my veins for those people that constantly advocate for using a password manager in the most annoying way possible. Congrats,

  Bitwarden stores a (encrypted) local copy of your vault on your device. So as long as you were signed in somewhere using any of the desktop app, mobile app or browser extension then you should still be able to access your passwords during this outage. It's just the sync that isn't working (and if you need to sign in on a new device).

  It still works fine as long as you don’t log out. Nothing is broken on my end.

  Not at all a single point of failure, as others have mentioned, this is only for logging into new devices, devices which are already setup will have a local copy of the database. Plus you can export the database to have a backup that can be restored elsewhere. I keep a database backup (encrypted of course) on a flash drive with my yubikey for instance. Have never had a point where I haven't been able to access my passwords.

    That's not what I was referring to, but the single master password that decrypts everything. Though this would be bad as well.

      You can have 2FA on it (eg with a Yubikey in my case), and also most people have their email address as single point of failure in that sense, as most password resets simply rely on sending a link to the registered email.
