I just switched to Authenticator Pro from Authy and I've been very pleased. It took some time to get my codes transferred over, but now I have android wear support, night mode, and my codes aren't held hostage by Twilio!

I use bitwarden for 99% of my 2FA. The rest goes into both Google Auth and Authy.

[–] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the way to go! Bitwarden's authenticator is just so smoothly integrated into the login process - Ctrl-Shift-L to login, them Ctrl-V to paste the code.

I use yubikeys wherever they're available and I use Aegis for the rare TOTP I don't store in Bitwarden.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been looking into getting a yubikey recently and just can't bring myself to bite the bullet.

If you can catch a good sale, they're more affordable .I picked up two for about US$45 for their "May the Fourth" one-day sale in 2022.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Now that's a price I can get behind. I think they are $55 for 1 of the series 5 right now. I debated just getting a security key version for $25 but I know I'll just end up getting the higher tier later because I don't really understand them and how they work.

I use bitwarden for all but it's protected by a yubikey.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ironically Bitwarden is why I want a Yubikey

[–] Wizza@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, didn't know bitwarden also managed 2FA, could've saved the space from using authy. Is that a (somewhat) new feature or is it just me being blind and missing it?

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not as obvious as the other apps for sure and requires the premium subscription which is like 10 bucks a year. Was an instant buy for me when I switched over. When you auto fill a login it will automatically copy your 2FA key to quick paste into the box. I love it.

[–] Wizza@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That does sounds nice, but on the other hand... i do like free stuff, instead of paying for subscriptions...

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't disagree but $10 a year is well worth it imo. Plus it keeps all your passwords and 2FA in one easy place.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's super hard to find. I just now learned about this too. https://bitwarden.com/help/authenticator-keys/

[–] Wizza@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Welp... time to move everything from authy to bitwarden looks like

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So you store the TOTP for Bitwarden in one of the other apps?

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 4 points 1 year ago

I use Bitwarden for 2FA and the Bitwarden TOTP is in Aegis (I switched there from Authy after seeing a mention of it yesterday - never liked that it's near impossible to get the tokens back out of Authy, but Bitwarden is the only thing I use it for). Actually the Bitwarden code is in Bitwarden too πŸ˜‰.

I don't particularly like that the passwords and TOTP are stored together, but it makes things much more convenient.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Both actually because Bitwarden is to important to me to trust one service lol
