Users feel safer knowing that even if someone gets the password, but they can't access the accounts without the code on phone, and sometimes if no networks also with dynamically changing pin it also helps to sign in to the account without issues. Push notification also would be a great design so users can easily access it.

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

  • Bitwarden has great functionality all around, however, I would in the future like to see this product as an SSO/IDM distributor.

Usability

The app makes it pretty straightforward to add accounts by scanning QR codes or entering setup keys manually. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, the initial setup is usually smooth. Once set up, I can quickly open the app and get the 2FA codes I need without any delays or complications. The codes refresh automatically and are easy to copy over.

Easy to use, just missing a few quality of life features. Nothing to suggest it's not awesome as it is, just bells and whistles to make it more convenient.

Free and simple to use, no extra gadgets needed.


Quick codes generate instantly, and I don’t need a signal or internet.


Secure enough, much safer than SMS, and I’m in control since the codes live only on my device.


Supports tons of accounts I can manage my bank, work tools, social media, and more all in one place.


Overall, it felt like the best mix of convenience, security, and cost. Plus, it just works no fuss, no extra gear, just me and my phone.

Bitwarden
Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that users are ok with struggling in their onboarding process.
