I just have the master password saved in my browser. I realise this is probably sub-optimal for a lot of people but for my workflow (i.e. the kinds of passwords I put in BitWarden) it works out OK.

Can you explain what you mean here a bit more? I worked on some large PHP sites (millions of users a month) and didn't really have any problems with these things, but maybe you're talking about a specific type of RPC?
