[QUOTE="Ink, post: 931084, member: 3"] As far as I'm aware, both Bitwarden and 1Password allow TOTP (time-based one-time passwords) to be stored in the same place as your passwords. LastPass offers a standalone LastPass Authenticator app for both Free / Premium users - it sync's to your LP account for backup purposes - as does Microsoft Authenticator with your MS account. [HEADING=2]Quoted from [URL='https://blog.1password.com/totp-for-1password-users/'][U]this article written in 2015[/U][/URL].[/HEADING] They (1Password) continue on to say this: [B]True Two Factor - [/B]"the device that holds your TOTP secret should never hold your password if your aim is genuine two factor security." LastPass Free users can [I]technically [/I]achieve this with the upcoming changes, if they make their Computer their default, and use their Mobile for TOTP authentication. What do you think? Is it realistic for real-world users? Or do you want convenience over security? [/QUOTE]
