Bitwarden. Works well and the integration with 2FA/TOTP is amazing. I highly recommend to not rely on a single (mobile) device for 2FA. Loosing or breaking it might shut you out of certain accounts forever.


Same, used to be LastPass but the more I learned about them as an entity I realised that they were not what they once were and I switched to Bitwarden.

I also found this suited my devices and usage, Linux, Android, Mac, Windows... happy across the board.

Also... employers tend not to use Bitwarden, they pick 1Password or LastPass, so it means I can have both work and personal on my BYODs.

But isn't this what the backup codes are for?


Yea, I used to keep my passwords and backup codes in two separate KeePass vaults. Now I use Bitwarden for passwords but still use KeePass for my backup codes.

I use the notes for each entry in Bitwarden to indicate what kind of 2FA I have enabled and whether I have a backup code already stored in the other vault.


Sure. But not everybody has them or they might be on that device...


I find Authy on a mobile and desktop with backup turned on seems like solid enough 2FA redundancy.


Yeah, I learnt it the hard way when I accidentally purged my Google Authenticator with all 2FA data.
