Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app

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.

Privacy friendly Ente has an E2EE cloud backed up authenticator app called Auth. In case you didn’t want to host your own, or need multi-device sync.

Or you can just self host Bitwarden and use the built in 2FA that can be attached to any login

Are you in my head? Is this an alternate account that my subconscious self uses? What is real?

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.
