It has a bad history of locking you out completely if you lose your device ( 1, 2, 3). Whatever you do though, do not use Google Authenticator. There is a github workaround for being able to export your Authy TOTP seeds but it takes a few steps. You'll find lots of options out there, but unfortunately nothing that is open source, cross-platform, and lets you export seeds. OTP Auth - iOS only, lets you export TOTP seeds.
#Bitwarden authy android
This is my top suggestion for most people.Īegis - Android only, lets you export TOTP seeds. No authenticator does everything though which really sucks.Īuthy - Cross platform, backs up to the cloud, great support. My suggestion moving forward with an authenticator is no matter what program you choose, make sure you've got a way to have a plaintext version of all of your TOTP seeds. This advice is maybe for a little later, but it’s overall the advice I give to anyone.
#Bitwarden authy code
If that makes sense.īonus point for this question: girlfriend and I share a few accounts, account and passwords in our Bitwarden org, if I make the 2FA on my 2FA app, can she access from her 2FA app if she has the same QR code when I set it up? There's no conflict with her 2FA app and mine using the same code? The chances of any of us being in a worst case scenario like specifically targeted for sim hacking, phone number theft sort of thing, I believe are very unlikely so I don't need the worst, worst, worst case scenarios covered, just the online threats I imagine. Main point being I need to make sure my accounts are using 2FA, as well as family members accounts, and that if a phone is stolen or broken there would still be a second location with the ability to access. Sorry if this all sounds confusing, I'm definitely confused as what to opt for. If I need in two locations do they sync? It is unlikely family members will remember to add the new accounts 2FA to both devices?
or creates an automatic backup somewhere so phone breaking is not an issue? If the phone is lost or broken, I'd still like to access my accounts, so the app would need to be on my phone and then one other location (tablet or PC). Fingerprint or similar to login (in addition to phone requiring the same) So two good passwords for the rest of my life!?ĢFA app to have the following capabilities: 2FA app for the Bitwarden access, and my other 2FA accounts with it's own master password.
#Bitwarden authy password
Bitwarden for passwords, one master password and 2FA enabled. This led me to Aegis, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator. Basically I'm their constant remote technical support so for this reason Yubikey is ruled out. My conclusion was I should get 2 x YubiKeys and use them, however, I want a system I can use and recommend/help family members setup and use as well.
While doing this I have been using Google Authenticator, but I've realised it's got some serious limitations. I recently setup Bitwarden to improve my password security and I'm in the process of enabling as many accounts as possible for 2FA.
