<p>Some years ago I had a client whose car could be unlocked and
started using a thumbprint. This was a very very valuable car.<br>
</p>
<p>The client realized that what could happen next is getting held
up and losing a thumb.</p>
<p>The client turned off the "thumb unlock" feature, or changed
cars, or both.<br>

Is it a concern of those who use these password managers that
someone could put a gun in your face and demand your phone and
hold it to your face to open it and access your passwords and thus
everything protected by those passwords presumably including
access to financial accounts? Or is that not a risk?

at my previous law firm, the chief security officer
had (and I think still has) a firm rule prohibiting
the use of password manager software as unsafe because
of the risk that someone might be able to break the
password vault maintained by the software. I
vigorously disagreed, citing NIST and others, but was
unable to convince him. I don’t know how widespread
that opinion is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt">But here’s the
thing: if you’re in the Infinite
Verification Loop with any agency, the
hangup is often ID.me and then you can’t get
into your account to log into Id.me to
access their “faster” response team. In my
case, they had decided that my account was
connected with my prior work email, to which
I have no access, obviously. No worries
though, says the “help” page, just type in
your old inaccessible email address with
your old password. The chances that I’m
going to remember a prior password, from a
year ago, is .000002%.No worries, says the
help page, just put in a few guesses –
sorry, guys, the fact that we’re all forced
to register 8FUN€beach§woohoo34# means that
unless you write them all down you’re
screwed. So there is no way to get in at
ALL. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt">So you go to ID.me
and fill out the “help”email, because you
can only report that way, and they say “high
volume but will get back to you within a
week”. But … we have an 8&15 and the
client finally surfaced and it’s due
tomorrow!! So a friend suggested that I call
the TM Assistance Center, and ask to talk w
true TEAS "technical problems people" and
plead for help. They have some kind of Big
Red Phone to get in touch with ID.me and get
you a response much sooner. Once I did that,
I heard from ID.me a few hours later and the
problem was solved by the next day. Not
lickety-split, but much faster than the week
a lot of people have to wait for ID.me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
