Do you think it’s worth keeping 2FA OTPs in a separate source from your password manager? Currently I keep them in Bitwarden. I was thinking keeping them separate could add a little extra security in case my BW was cracked, but not sure it’s worth the hassle of loading a second app for logins.

Do you know of an app that does 2FAs as conveniently as Bitwarden, in that it has mobile apps, browser extension, etc that can all access the same vault?

here’s one i came across from an awesome-selfhosted list. i would need to test the PWA experience https://github.com/Bubka/2FAuth

    No. 2FA as a functional protocol requires internet. No way around that considering the secured source needs to send updates to the app you referenced down to subsecond.

    Maybe you’re thinking of TOTP which does have a very small window where offline keys could work?

      I obviously am speaking of TOTP. OP uses Bitwarden, which can only store TOTPs. And TOTPs do work offline as they only need the device’s internal clock to work. As long as that is synced, TOTP will work.

          Indeed. Since it seems like that was too ambigious for you, I explicitly changed it to TOTP.

          I mean, if you knew how most of the password managers worked, you also would’ve known this.

          Edit: Furthermore, the 2FAs you speak of are proprietary solutions that can’t even be added to password managers, so I assume you didn’t even properly read anything.
