Bitwarden Authenticator is a utility for Android that allows you to get an additional layer of security by generating and storing time-based one-time passwords.
Basic opportunities
This utility is built around the concept of TOTP, which is a trusted method of two-factor authentication. It is possible to generate a new six-digit code every 30 seconds. This numbers need to be entered in addition to a user’s login credentials for secure access.
This software generates mentioned codes using a secret key that is stored securely on the client’s device. In case your credentials are compromised, the hacker will not access the secured service without the TOTP code.
