Bitwarden Authenticator is a standalone app that is available for everyone, even non-Bitwarden customers.
In its current release, Bitwarden Authenticator generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for users who want to add an extra layer of 2FA security to their logins.
There is a comprehensive roadmap planned with additional functionality.
Available for iOS and Android
This is actually really good of them to realize that there is a market for another, separate, 2FA app to be honest. I don’t trust or like Google nor Microsoft. Authy is crap and going down the drain.
Using 2FAS now but not really feeling it.
If I could self host this and have redundancy/offsite backups I would probably move to this separate solution (Outside of regular Bitwarden).
Keeping the passwords and 2fa tokens in the same app is like writing the password on a post-it underneath the keyboard.
Aegis is my absolute favorite for 2FA’s, give it a try for sure. Pretty sure it’s only available on Android unfortunately though.
Are you in my head? Is this an alternate account that my subconscious self uses? What is real?
I moved to Raivo on iOS
Same
Re Authy: Still use it for the backup and restore. I had a phone die in me and without that feature, i would have been locked out of so many accounts. Happy to switch if something better comes along, but backup is a must for me (and not via Google…)
I had a phone die in me
The phone being inside you is probably why it died 😂
But on a serious note, I haven’t switched to passkeys because I don’t have a clear mental model of how to recover from losing both my phone and computer at the same time.
I’m feeling you! That’s the same reason I’m looking for a alternative.
This new Bitwarden 2FA does backup and restore! It was also important to me, as I had a phone stolen one time and without my backed up “emergency codes”, I’d been SOL! :)
Use vaultwarden
Ammmm 2fa is a Bitwarden premium feature long time ago. It works pretty well in combination with password manager
