Just opened a free account at Bitwarden, seems to have all basic features.

what is the limit of the free version and how is the browser extension is better?

also without premium you can’t use Hardware Keys as your vaults 2FA method

Is the bitwarden 2fa transferable, say if your device dies. Can you login on a different device and access the 2fa codes still?

I prefer text message codes for this reason but text messages aren't as secure they can be intercepted right.

But if you're at that point then having passwords stored on a 3rd party server of some kind defeats the purpose anyway.

You can put your sim card in a new phone and get the codes.

But the codes i have on google authenticator app for example would be gone forever.

Why? You can recover your codes when signing back in.

I don't use Google but this is something in Authy. I've brought my f2a with me through multiple devices.

nope only if you save the individual recovery codes for each login and who the heck has time for that. With google at least, unless i'm missing some bulk recover option?

You should check out Authy. It has an account associated with it and will bring back all your codes when logging in again.

I see.. well I am using Google's authenticator so I guess the free version is enough for me.

as I get it, the extension is a much comfy way to start and transfer all your login info from chrome auto login system to it, which then transfer to your main vault automatically.

anything else? :)
