I have the recovery codes for everything saved in bitwarden encrypted notes. And I took some inspiration from the blockchain world and lazer etched some steel plates with the essential recovery codes as well.
But after getting through everything, the day to day of operating in this structure isn’t hindering at all. DNS filter on occasion makes me second think what i am doing. Most of the time I just stop and go to something else. But if it something i NEED to do, yes its a hassle to white list something or two. But I accept this small 2min inconvenience.
The primary thing that got me on this privacy track is that when I was in college my identity was stole due to lax security at the school. Every 12-24 months I have to lock down my financial information and change everything. Now that I’m at a point I’m my life that I have ‘real’ finances to loose, I am working with a lawyer who says I have a strong case for new Social security number. Once I get my case date I will then move to start paying for a couple of the identity removal services.
