Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app
Storing 2FA codes is just the beginning. Bitwarden aims to add defense in depth to authentication.
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

Any reason to switch from Aegis?
Not yet.
No icons, no ability to save notes, a URL or back it up in an encrypted json.
I will definitely keep an eye on it though.Thats what i want to know, i use Authy, and want to know if its worth switching for.
Honestly, TOTP is so simple it would take a lot to switch from Aegis, and most of that would be from Aegis screwing up.
Switching would probably be a mistake because storing both your passwords and 2FA info in the same password manager is not a good idea, since if your password manager account gets compromised 2FA will do nothing. You should use a seperate 2FA app, and Aegis is a pretty good one.
Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I'm not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.
It's open source. Authy isn't.
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
