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

Any reason to switch from Aegis?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Not yet.
No icons, no ability to save notes, a URL or back it up in an encrypted json.
I will definitely keep an eye on it though.

Thats what i want to know, i use Authy, and want to know if its worth switching for.

Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I'm not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's open source. Authy isn't.

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.

Honestly, TOTP is so simple it would take a lot to switch from Aegis, and most of that would be from Aegis screwing up.
