Why recovery planning comes before migration

Password-manager comparisons often focus on features and price. Recovery readiness decides whether a lost phone, failed 2FA method or shared-vault mistake becomes a lockout.

Use with migration pages

Run this checklist alongside the migration checklist before deleting old devices, rotating credentials or changing family-vault ownership.
