The problem of exporting TOTP accounts from the Google Authenticator app. However, the desktop version of the application does not have a QR code scanner and relies on Secret Keys to be typed manually when adding an account. Can Bitwarden be used as Authenticator?īitwarden offers the same functionality as other popular authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.īitwarden for mobile devices can scan the QR codes and generate six-digit TOTP codes.
