I've been reading about best security practices for break glass accounts and the suggestion of "2 envelopes" came up.
Must have a complex password, preferably split into two parts, stored in envelopes at two different secure locations in fireproof safes.
This may be a little anachronistic in this post-Covid world?
Our organization gave up our rented office space as no one was using it anymore and our sysadmins are generally spread across a state. We are a 100% WFH organization now.
Is this still a thing? Any recommendations for doing something similar without the "fireproof safe" aspect?
