I just recently started using their totp function and I can’t believe I didn’t switch sooner. Just the fact alone that it automatically copies the code to your clipboard is such a Time saver not having to open up a separate app.
It’s a wild time saver. I can’t believe other folks go to a whole separate app for their codes! Hitting Ctrl+L to autofill passwords and user names then Ctrl+V for TOTP feels like a hack when I watch other people struggle with their other solutions.
I use a separate app for my codes, if someone somehow gains access to my Bitwarden if they have TOTP as wellcthrn they have all my accounts. With my TOTP in another app they still can’t access them.
Not OP but, consider using something like a YubiKey or similar hardware key for your second factor authentication.
They usually support multiple protocols so you only need to carry one around - and storing your second factor with your passwords is like putting all your eggs in one basket.
Print out recovery codes or get an ekstra hardware key for backup and you get great security for surprisingly little effort.
Right! I was using Authy so I didn’t have to grab my phone every time, but even that was still having to open the Authy app and wait for it to load, copy+paste. But using the keyboard shortcuts for Bitwarden is just so fast. Like you said, feels like a hack. It even auto copies on Android and with the autofill, makes it so easy.
I use keepassxc which autofills.
Then 2fsa has an addon that auto adds the code.
I’m in in under 10 seconds.
I dread the idea of keeping my passwords and TOTP in the same vault.

What do you use?
Personally I like Microsoft Auth. It just works well for 365
