• Is it a good idea to use Bitwarden for OTP?

  2FAS is a very solid MFA; Bitwarden is designed to be a password manager, so I wouldn't suggest using it as a 2fa. Keep it separate imho. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: How to plan the big move from Android to iOS?

  > Is there anything as good as Firefox with UBO? The DuckDuckGo iOS app blocks ADs and trackers. Also ADGuard Pro can block stuff at the network level. It only costs $10.00 for a one time purchase. > My main concerns are will 2FA break? Make sure to export your QR code TOTP seed images into a new iOS app. Most TOTP apps allow you to do this. I like the app 2FAS[0]. > Can I keep using Google for photos and docs or... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is it *safe* to store TOTP keys in Bitwarden

  2FAS is the popular go-to nowadays. Open-source and free. Works with iOS and Android. It also has extensions for all the major browsers. Source: 8 months ago

• From time to time you need to repeat these simple rules to stay safe.

  Use 2FA for Reddit, exchanges, even email (for example: 2FAS). Source: 10 months ago

• Google authenticator (help)

  I'm going to read about 2FAS (https://2fas.com) and Aegis (https://getaegis.app). Source: 11 months ago

• Regarding Yubikey

  People refer to blue keys as 'old' but yubico.com is clear...Security Key Series has been updated to black in 2023 with the same features as the Security Key Series in blue. Blue keys only available through partner sites. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can't log in on mobile – Yubikey 5C NFC

  Sorry if this has been asked a lot already - I've tried searching yubico.com and this subreddit, but I haven't found a fix for it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why passkeys from Apple, Google, Microsoft may soon replace your passwords

  And this is what passkeys fix. So instead you get your parents a set of yubi-keys for their access to 1-pass. * Whenever they are using a known machine (their laptop, phone, etc.) an biometric+device security is used, that's your 2FA. * When in rare machines, or doing things that are probably not ideal (like trying to load and read account information stored in the password manager) they'd have to pull up...

• First Yubikey lasted almost 10 years, here’s hoping for another 10!

  You know how sites ask you to use 2FA by texting you a code and having you put it in? It lets you do that by pressing the gold button on the front. It's better than using phone multifactor authentication, because it's possible for hackers to either trick you into giving them 2FA codes (There's a video on the front page of yubico.com right now explaining how that can happen), or to manipulate your phone carrier...

• Google Authenticator

  Not a solution to your exact problem, but since you're already in this pickle, I recommend getting a couple security keys (Yubikeys directly from yubico.com). You can then use Yubico's authentication app + security key which works with any service requiring an authetication app (including CDC - this is what I use). It's much easier to restore and a lot more secure. Source: over 1 year ago
