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

    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.
