Hey, I need to move one day of Google Authenticator, and I was wondering if their was a project like Bitwarden for 2 Factor Authentication

Take care!

Bitwarden provides a facility for MFA. Though there's an argument to be made against eggs + baskets. It might defeat threw purpose a bit.

I use Aegis which is opensource and easily encrypted and backed up locally. Saved my ass where I accidentally deleted my 2FA for Bitwarden, thus locking me out in circle of shite. Aegis allowed me to roll back and pull in that one missing key without having to redo a load i'd made since the last backup and all was good.

Yea, I think everyone that is saying Bitwarden supports 2FA is missing the point of 2FA. You don’t want it to be in the same place where all your passwords are, otherwise if someone gets access to your passwords they essentially can prove they are you.

That being said, I use a mixture of Authy + Bitwarden. Bitwarden for sites that require it but aren’t really a priority for me to keep separated, and Authy for 2FA codes that I prefer being separate from my passwords.

Reading everyone's comments here I thought I would go full Bitwarden, but I get the idea of have the 2 factor's coming from the exact same place
