Bitwarden just launched a new authenticator app. Here’s what it means to users. | Bitwarden Blog

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

    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…)

      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! :)

      I’m feeling you! That’s the same reason I’m looking for a alternative.

      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.
