Ah. So you essentially need 2 devices to set up a new device.

Exactly. Or even 3 if you make use of security level 3.

The only exception is at the start when there are no passwords stored yet.

That's pretty interesting. It's a trade-off between remembering a password and making sure you have enough devices. I personally would trust my brain (and a backup piece of paper) more than one of my devices that might die at any moment. I use KeePass, but NoKey seems great.

But wouldn't you agree that your brain + NoKey instead of a piece of paper as a backup would be more secure? And more convenient, as you don't have to type your passwords anymore.

I don't wanna push you, just wanna give you some things to think about. As long as you use strong and unique passwords everywhere you're good.

Also, it's not a big problem if one of your devices dies, as long as you paired enough devices you won't lose any passwords.
