Yeah basically I was referring to the situations mentioned above. Someone else's computer, private browser, etc.

But then don't you have to login to your web vault? Why not just login to your email? Unless a web vault is something specific I'm not familiar with that makes it simpler.

EDIT: Didn't realize parent was not same person as great-grandparent.

Well, yes, at some point I have to login to something.

However, my email password is stored in my password manager. I can't login to gmail unless I login to my web vault first.

If a third service requires me to click a link in my email, this becomes a semi-rediculous three steps: web vault → email → other service.

Ah yes that makes sense. I wasn't considering that because my email password is one of the few I have memorized.
