Whenever there is a security breach, everyone likes to point to “Have I Been Pwned.” It’s for a good reason. The guy who runs it is a “Rock Star” in the internet security world. But that doesn’t mean much to most people so let me show you why you should trust Have I Been Pwned(HIBP). Read moreCan You Trust HaveIBeenPwned?
Why use Two-Factor Authentication
Relying on just usernames and passwords to secure your online accounts is no longer considered safe. Data breaches occur daily and hackers are always inventing new ways to take over your accounts. Protect yourself by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). This blocks anyone using your stolen data by verifying your identity through your device. Enable 2FA now to protect your accounts online.

First tweet from my new iPhone X! After finally getting it activated, moved 20ish accounts from Google Auth to @Authy - best decision today!

Authy Vs Bitwarden

Bitwarden Steam 2fa

The best way to manage all your 2FA accounts is to use the Authy app. It enables you to have a single mobile app for all your 2FA accounts and you can sync them across multiple devices, even accessing them on the desktop. Install Authy on your device by searching for it in your device’s app store.
Important: If any sites prompt you to use Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication, note that you can always substitute the Authy 2FA app instead. Although they work in similar ways, Authy is more feature-rich and allows for multi-device syncing, cloud-backups, and easier account recovery should you change or lose your phone or device. Read more information on the features of Authy here.
Locate 2FA
When logged into your Bitwardenaccount, click on the “Down” arrow to the right of your account icon (or the generic image if you haven’t added an image yet.). Then click “My Account.”
In the next window, in the left-side navigation, click “Two-step Login.”

You will need this code if you ever lose the device that you access your authy accounts with. Once you have stored your recovery code in a safe place, scroll down and click “Manage” alongside the section for Authenticator App.
Before continuing, you will be required to re-enter your Bitwarden Master Password. Click “Continue” when finished.
You will now be presented with a QR code which you will need to capture with your Authy app. Keep this window open as you reach for your Authy-enabled device.
Enable 2FA
To capture the QR code, launch Authy on your device. Click ‘Add Account’ at the bottom of the screen. You’ll be prompted to hold your phone up to your computer to ‘Scan QR Code’ and capture the QR code provided by Bitwarden.
Once the QR code is captured, Authy will display your Bitwarden account with the appropriate icon. If you desire you can also change the logo or the nickname you give the account right on the Authy app. When ready, click ‘Save’.
With your Authy app still opened to your Bitwarden 2FA account, return to the Bitwarden screen showing the QR code and enter the 6-digit code. When done, click “Enable.”
Finish Setup
Once you click “Done,” you’ve completed enabling two-factor authentication on your Bitwarden account, which is now secured with Authy 2FA. From now on, you will need to use the Authy app when you login.
