Bitwarden Web Vault. Use 2FA for Bitwarden login and use 2FA code for financial login as well. Bitwarden 2FA will only be asked for when you first use a computer/device or if you logout completely without ever checking the 'Remember me' option during sign in. Bank 2FA will always be asked for. You want to protect both with 2FA. ./bitwarden.sh updatedb And now you’re done, you’ve your own password manager server which also supports Google Authenticator ( Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP) as second factor. Maybe I’ll write a blogpost how to setup a Yubikey as 2FA (desktop and mobile) later.
Introduction
Password Managers is still a necessity in 2020, and will be for a long time. I’ve been using Bitwarden with YubiKeys for a while now, so it was about time to share some experience, and how easy it’s to get started.
Bitwarden https://bitwarden.com/ is an Open Source Password Manager that is hosted on GitHub https://github.com/bitwarden. This means that you have full control over source code, and you also could contribute to the project. With Bitwarden you can simply self-host it, or run their Organization Plans that is hosted on Azure https://bitwarden.com/help/article/cloud-server-security/. Bitwarden offers different Organization Plans. To see what fits your demand go to https://bitwarden.com/#organizations. The Enteprises Plan supports Azure AD integration. I will cover this in another blog post.
Configure Bitwarden with your Favorite FIDO key
Bitwarden supports a whole range of Providers. When enabling 2FA you will also be prompted to download recover Code. Download these first, before proceeding to the 2FA setup! And Keep the Recovery codes safe, in case things went south!
To configure your FIDO key with YubiKey.

Just add your YubiKey with the Touch/Tap were it will populate the OTP or U2F, I recommend at least two YubiKeys, in case you lose your primary key. With the second backup key you can access your account if you ever lost your key! Yes, that will eventually happen ? You could also configure Bitwarden with another supported OTP/U2F key if you have another brand in your possession. If you do not have one, Authenticator Apps like Authy, Google, Duo is supported as well.

Summary
It’s without doubt that configuring 2FA with Bitwarden is straightforward with some simple steps. Modern family season 11 sky go. Just remember! Do not only configure one single YubiKey, that is not good practice.
Bitwarden is feature-packed and should tick all your boxed if you have strong requirements for a password manager. With the wide range of supported OTP/U2F, I think this password manger will make you delighted for a long time. And yes, it’s Open Source that is a big bonus!

Install Authy
The best way to manage all your 2FA accounts is to use the Authy app. It enables you to have a single mobile app for all your 2FA accounts and you can sync them across multiple devices, even accessing them on the desktop. Install Authy on your device by searching for it in your device’s app store.
Important: If any sites prompt you to use Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication, note that you can always substitute the Authy 2FA app instead. Although they work in similar ways, Authy is more feature-rich and allows for multi-device syncing, cloud-backups, and easier account recovery should you change or lose your phone or device. Read more information on the features of Authy here.
