I originally set up Bitwarden with 2FA using Google Authenticator. Sometimes bitwarden does not request the code from Google Authenticator and I can log in with my password (without the 2nd factor). There is no consistency. I have also rebooted the PC and it still sometimes does not need the Google Authenticator code. This issue seemed to have started 6 months to a year ago. Any suggestions.
Hello Eric,
Make sure you have the correct master password and your 2FA app readily available. Go to Bitwarden Web vault (your web app, Settings → My account) and click on “Deauthorize sessions.” This will log you out of all your clients, making it critical to have your password and 2FA ready.
When you log in again on your clients and are prompted to provide your 2FA credential, never click the option “Remember me.”
Also: you should make sure to understand the difference between locking and logging out.
