How to use the integrated authenticator

Note: The integrated authenticator is only available for Bitwarden Password Manager Premium accounts, Families, and Business plans.

Two-step login for your third-party websites

The integrated authenticator allows you to generate TOTP codes for two-step login right within your existing Bitwarden Password Manager logins. Generating TOTP codes within your logins gives you the convenience of sharing TOTP codes with colleagues (ex. if you have a shared login) as well as being able to use them as part of auto-fill.

Desktop and Web App

When using the Desktop app or Web app, you will need to add the authenticator key manually in order to generate your TOTP codes. Typically, you will have an option to view the text of the authenticator key or secret just below the QR code.

Using your new TOTP code during login

Once Bitwarden is generating your TOTP code for that particular site, you will be able to go to the site's login screen and use one of the Bitwarden auto-fill options to fill in your username and password. The website will then ask for the TOTP code.

Simply click into the field and paste with Ctrl/Cmd + V
