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

2FA push is on the roadmap. Does aegis have that? Or am I just too dense to realise it does?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean, Aegis is 2FA? That's literally all it is? It generates One Time Pad codes for various sites and apps that support authentication apps.

So, I'm not sure what you mean?

I'm not positive but I'm assuming they're referring to a kind of MFA where the authenticating service pushes to the client you possess rather than relying on a temporal cryptographic key. I've got a few services which work that way

That's indeed what I meant. Similar to how OKTA, battle.net, or the Microsoft authenticator works( in corporate environments).

You receive a push notification which asks if you're trying to log in and approve it, followed by a fingerprint or a pin code to confirm, rather than having to type in the code generated by your app
