The one occasion I fear it wouldn't work would be if I'm traveling overseas and need to use a different computer (which doesn't happen often). I would have set the master account with 2-factor authentication, but wouldn't have access to my phone or email (which may also be inaccessible due to 2-factor authentication), so I may be locked out of all accounts since I need the master account to know any password.



Singapore. We have suspected possible security problems with the networks there. But I also used it there for several weeks and had no problem yet. So nothing conclusive.
If you suspect the networks, get a vpn account.
