I’ve used Bitwarden as my password manager and authenticator for a long time. I’ve been testing Pass and I really like it overall.

But the thing I realized is that in order to sign in to my Proton account, I need to provide an OTA code. No problem when I’m using a separate password manager/authenticator. But when Pass is my authenticator I don’t have access to the OTA code (if I were to log out of all devices).

What are others doing in this situation?

    It’s “Proton Pass”, not “Pass”. The latter will lead to great confusion.

    I use Ente Auth for all TOTP. It’s free, encrypted, and actually provides the codes for the next cycle so you don’t have to stare at it for 5 seconds waiting for it to tick over.

    If you have your passwords and TOTP in the same place then you have no 2FA.

      Yeah Proton Pass, I was using shorthand of sorts considering where I was posting.

      Thanks for the recommendation.

      Most services let you use a code that’s a few seconds old, so no need to wait 5 seconds, just type in whatever you see
