Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

Which is still pretty good in my book, but not as good as a second device.

Not really. You still should be use MFA to access the vault itself before you can even get to the Token.

Yeah, of course. A very strong password that can’t easily be fished that is stored in Bitwarden. I thought that was implied.

“Basically then it degrades to a very strong password that can’t easily be phished.”
I’m disagreeing with this, in that you are still (hopefully) using 2FA with your vault. Therefore whatever your accessing in that vault whether its a TOTP token or a password is still protected by MFA and not just a “very strong password”.
Putting a TOTP token inside a vault protected by a strong password and another form of authentication is no less secure then having it be separate from the vault.

Now, this is where I get the impression you are not listening to me and are just arguing for arguing’s sake.
I’m getting off this ride.
