To those that are confused about this:
Bitwarden does indeed handle TOTP directly in the password manager, but only on paid accounts and only logged in.
This is a completely offline app, separate from your existing Bitwarden account, that is entirely free.
It might serve as an alternative to e.g Aegis to some.
I haven't been entirely happy with Bitwarden for other reasons. You can't self host and share with one other person without paying them $40/year. Their advertising is deceptive, because they say you can do both for free. But that one or the other, not both.
You also can't easily share individual passkeys outside of the app. If you want to grab a passkey, you have to export your entire vault.*
It's basically annoyance-ware.
* note that sharing passkeys is not best practice, but there are use cases.
I don't think I realized that was a limitation because I've been using the Vaultwarden fork. https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
