Security News > 2024 > May > Bitwarden launches new MFA Authenticator app for iOS, Android
Bitwarden has just launched a new multi-factor authenticator app called Bitwarden Authenticator, which is available for iOS and Android devices.
In contrast, the Bitwarden Authenticator app is available for free to all users, even those without a Bitwarden account, and can be used as a standalone app.
Bitwarden's CTO Kyle Spearrin said the launch of the new app "Provides immediate value to the Bitwarden user base who has been asking for a standalone app for several years" and promised new features and enhancements in future releases.
Currently, it generates TOTPs for online services that support MFA apps, including the Bitwarden Password Manager, while backups are handled by the OS's backup services.
The Bitwarden Authenticator app is available on Google Play for Android phones and on the Apple App Store for iPhones and iOS devices in general.
Those interested in looking at the code can find it here for the iOS version and here for the Android app.
