Bitwarden Authenticator is a standalone app that is available for everyone, even non-Bitwarden customers.

In its current release, Bitwarden Authenticator generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for users who want to add an extra layer of 2FA security to their logins.

There is a comprehensive roadmap planned with additional functionality.

Available for iOS and Android

I use my Microsoft account with a standard OTP app, you don't need their own app.

Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…

Is that a thing? Usually those have a fallback to a regular TOTP code.

I use Okta for work because we integrate SSO with it everywhere, but I could technically enter a code every time and swap out the Okta app for the other TOTP app I use.

My company is a MS shop, but they use TOTP as the second factor, and even that is optional. My department uses Okta, which is a completely separate system (we're a weird, separate unit entirely from most of the rest of the company).

I did too until it kept rejecting my tokens frequently - changing to M$ Authenticator "solved" it.

They must now require HOTP or something now. TOTP doesn't care what machine it's on, whereas HOTP does (well, you could spoof it if you really wanted).
