## Purpose
1010

11+
The purpose of this backup process arose from a moment when I broke my phone. My phone was my lone source of MFA/2FA codes via the authenticator app, and I genuinely felt terror that I would be locked out of my Bitwarden account. After getting the phone working enough to log in and transfer my 2FA seed to another device, I decided to create this script to have a backup of my passwords locally.

13+
Key requirements for this script are:
14+
15+
| Key | Reasoning |
16+
|---|---|
17+
| Secure | The script must run securely and its resulting output must also be secure
18+
| Testable | An untested backup is not a backup
19+
| Automatic | It should ideally run without human intervention, rain or shine
