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

    Not sure why i am paying for this in the Bitwarden app if the same function is offered for free. Not like it’s bad, as its only like a dollar every month, but why?

      It’s also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It’s only a paid feature if you’re using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a “premium” benefit.

        Of which I pay for, I have no issue paying Bitwarden for good work. And I use Bitwarden on-site myself.

        For 10€ a year I will pay for a feature I don’t even use voluntarily.
        Just because the app is great and works really well with multi accounts.

          Exactly. I don’t pay for Bitwarden because I need all of its features. I pay because I want to support them and the job that they are doing. The extra features are just a side-effect of that.
