Why do you need that? Just use one of the already existing ones like Aegis.
When have more options become a bad thing?
Bitwarden has otp built in but you have to buy premium. Totally worth it.
Should probably mention that premium is only 10 bucks a year. I also don't just pay for the feature itself but also to support Bitwarden, it's completely free and open source after all.
Same. 10 bucks is a steal.
The best authenticator is https://github.com/jamie-mh/AuthenticatorPro
FOSS.
Didn't realise you could have a good authenticator until I used this.
Why do you need a separate one?
I keep google authenticator around just to store bitwarden's totp. But I also store bitwarden's totp inside bitwarden, so I can use bitwarden's mobile client to get bitwarden's totp when I log into bitwarden on another device.
That's what I'd recommend. Why Google and not Aegis or another non-Google FOSS app?
Nothing in particular, all my totp was in google authenticator and over the years I migrated them all to lastpass then bitwarden, and the only thing left there is now bitwarden totp.
Sound like a 'yo, dawg'-meme
Kinda think its to keep costs down. They already have their builtin totp generators so making a separate application seems kinda redundant. Unless you mean why they don't make their own hardware security key? That's probably also to keep costs down (materials, vendors, marketing, upkeep, etc...). I would also like to have a rival with the same credibility for yubikey though in case something happens to the company.
