Tillgänglig på iOS och Android

Why Multi-Factor Authentication Matters

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication (2FA) provide critical protection beyond passwords alone. If a cyberattack were to occur , malicious actors could not access your account without the time-based verification code generated by our authenticator app.

Unlike SMS-based two-factor authentication, which can be intercepted, app-based authenticators like Bitwarden generate codes locally on your device, making them significantly more secure for protecting your sensitive accounts.

Understanding two-factor authentication

How two-factor authentication works

When you log in to a protected account, you'll enter your password first, then open your Bitwarden Authenticator app to get a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds.

This multi-factor authentication process ensures that even if your password is compromised, they can't access your account without physical access to your device.

Authenticator app vs. SMS two-factor authentication

While SMS-based 2FA is better than no protection, authenticator apps provide superior security:

No network dependency: Codes generate offline
SIM-swap protection: Codes aren't sent via vulnerable SMS
Faster access: Instant code generation without waiting for texts
International reliability: Works anywhere without roaming issues

The Bitwarden Authenticator app supports both 2FA and MFA implementations, generating secure time-based codes for any service that supports TOTP authentication.

Yes, authenticator apps provide superior security compared to SMS-based 2FA. App-generated codes can't be intercepted through SIM swapping attacks, work offline, and aren't dependent on cellular networks. Security experts recommend authenticator apps as the gold standard for two-factor authentication.

Bitwarden Authenticator is a standalone app that is available for everyone, even those who don’t use Bitwarden Password Manager.

Bitwarden Authenticator generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for multi-factor authentication. The app creates secure 6-digit codes that rotate every 30 seconds, providing an essential second layer of security for your online accounts beyond just passwords.

Integrated TOTP authentication is a premium feature in Bitwarden Password Manager. Bitwarden Authenticator is a free standalone mobile app that generates TOTP codes for any online service that supports them. Bitwarden Authenticator can be used without a Bitwarden account.

Yes! Many Bitwarden users have asked for a standalone authenticator in which to store their verification codes used to access their Bitwarden account. It is important to write down and store your Password Manager recovery codes in a secure place.

Yes, these are separate applications.

In this initial release, your data will be backed up through the mobile operating system's backup services. Please make sure your device is turned on and configured for backups. Bitwarden Authenticator data is included in the OS backups and will be restored with them.
