Time to find a replacement, I guess.

I'd look for one that also does passwords. And passkeys too, since that's looking like it will replace TOTP.

Since like it or not you're going to have three credential systems to deal with, at least have all of them in one place.

Not the best idea for security

Bitwarden is by far the best answer. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

Keepass can do all, though TOTP support is not exactly what I'd call streamlined. Still works well nevertheless.

Edit: unsure of passkey when I think about it now, but worst case someone will make a plugin for them I guess...

My only issue with these tools is that you're putting both your passwords and the 2fa in one basket.

[-] nevemsenki@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That is true, though you could keep your password and totp databases separate theoretically. I'm not sure if keeping them in say separate apps brings much benefit if your phone/pc gets compromised though, as most people would have both available on their device... totp is more about convince, it's never as secure as a hardware thing say yubikey.
