I use a second password manager and a backup Yubikey as my own solution. The Free plan includes support for up to two users, multi-factor authentication via email or a mobile authenticator app, password vault data breach scanning, and the option to run a Bitwarden. Another route can be to use a Yubikey or have a backup phone running the same TOTP with Google authenticator. Dashlane’s free option works great for that and the fact that it can only be used on 1 device might be a security feature in this case You could also use LastPass’ Authenticator app and have it backed up via a linked free LastPass account. (2) I’d simply use a second password manager that can store TOTPs.

In general I do not like security features that tie themselves to a phone number. But a 2FA that advertises the ability to be logged in via a browser extension, desktop app, and mobile apps adds a lot of unnecessary attack vectors and thanks to human nature users might login via all of them for convenience. So I am attempting to add a new authenticator app in Amazon. One of the things I really like (the idea) about BitWarden is password management & TOTP 2FA in the same app (vs LastPass having 2 apps & no way to export TOTPs). As far as I know they are not in any form competing in the password manager space. Consider me among the legion of long time LastPass users looking at alternative password managers. Why does Bitwarden and 1Password recommend Authy? Probably because it’s not bad in terms of security and because it is forgiving in terms of cloud backup and recovery options.
