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

    Does this mean we can also use TOTP in the regular Bitwarden app when using their free cloud instances now?

      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!

      You shouldn’t keep your TOTP and passwords in the same place. All your eggs in one basket kinda thing. If your account is ever compromised somehow then you’ve lost everything.
