Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app ( bitwarden.com )

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

    They're good Bits, Bront

    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.

    Why not just use KeePassXC? It's completely free amd works great.

    Syncing doesn't work well for me. Bw did a much better job.

    True, it is a hassle sometimes... Especially on new devices.

    Assuming you're asking about the password manager?

    Most important for me is that with Bitwarden I can share passwords with someone else.

    So is Bitwarden? Even more so if it's selfhosted?

    Currently use Raivo on iOS. If this is offline only and has a way to export I may change.

    Glad these were answered:

    Isn't this the same as storing TOTP authentication codes in Bitwarden Password Manager?

    Integrated TOTP authentication is a premium feature in Bitwarden Password Manager. Bitwarden Authenticator is a standalone mobile app that generates TOTP codes for any online service that supports them. Bitwarden Authenticator can be used without a Bitwarden account.

    Should I use both? When should I use the integrated authentication  feature? When should I use Bitwarden Authenticator?

    Integrated authentication in Bitwarden Password Manager offers a convenient way for users to add 2FA to their online accounts. This popular feature will remain available across paid plans. 

    Bitwarden Authenticator can be used to store your verification codes to access your Bitwarden account, as well as other online applications you use. 

    They can be used together, or separately, depending on your security preferences.

    I personally have no use for this since I use Aegis and sync it with my synology drive

    Good. They make great stuff.

    Great. Now I have to make the effort of migrating from Authy.

    KeePassXC can do this as well. I had no idea until I saw a post on here where someone mentioned it.
    Here's the documentation.
