I believe it does, although I haven't used that feature:

Split tunneling using OpenVPN

Here is a guide that will help you set up split tunneling using OpenVPN

Simply change password just to be on the safe side. This will log out all devices automatically and ensures that only you know the new password.

I suggest to use a 2FA authentication application with bitwarden. Authy will be a good starting point as it support backup and restore along with windows desktop app

thanks for the info I've been using 2FA for a long time with Onelogin Protect but only only just changed to Aegis. It has very good backup, import, export options.

Aegis is a very good option. In my opinion the best for Android.
Beside that, you can look at hardware token like Nitrokey, Solokey, Yubikey, Google Titan.

They support u2F (FIDO) and WebAuthn (FIDO2)

Bitwarden extension in Edge.

What's the consensus for using these two options?
