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?

    At the end of the day, if you want some sort of 2FA for your Proton account, you’ll need another service (like Bitwarden), or you’d have to rely on less secure methods (like SMS).

    Keeping your Bitwarden account and only using it to log in to Proton seems like a reasonable way to go.

      Yeah, I’m just looking for choices others are using to compare notes. I like bitwarden a lot, but keeping it for just 1 MFA token is a bit overkill. This is considering bitwarden doesn’t allow TOTP codes in their free plan (last I checked).
