  How do you get into your email?

    I use an email client which saves my password and I don’t need to enter it. But the keepass db can also store your email password for you.

      That’s the problem.

      We’re discussing accessing your accounts without prior access to a pre-authorized device.

      If you don’t have a device that’s already signed into your email, you can’t get into your passwords at all. Email is locked with your password db, your password db is locked with your email. Without one or the other already, you’ve locked yourself out of your own accounts.

        Keepass db doesn’t use email 2fa, its just a file you store on your device
