Storing 2FA codes is just the beginning. Bitwarden aims to add defense in depth to authentication.

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

    No, it’s a separate app that is completely detached from the BitWarden App and servers.

    More comparable to 2Fas, Aegis or similar apps.

    EDIT: the fact that TOTP is not available on the free tier always irritated me. I am happy VaultWarden has it included, though it’s only one of three places I keep my TOTPs

      Thanks for clarifying, seems silly they’d introduce a whole new app with this functionality but still paywall it in their main app!
