✅ Bitwarden recommends Authy - Data breach

Hi,
Bitwarden is recommending “Authy” so I registered. Two days later they had a data-breach with millions of phone numbers leaked. Bitwarden should seriously consider not to recommend this third party service anymore.

@tuxfux Welcome to the forum!

It looks like your request is about Bitwarden’s Password Manager product, so I have moved your post into the appropriate section of the forum.

You may also be interested in this discussion in another forum thread.

Most of their help/documentation pages have a button at the bottom, “Make a suggestion to this page”. It might be helpful to make the suggest via that link on the page where you found the Authy reference.

I am not talking about “Help Center | Bitwarden

The Twilio Authy (and Google Authenticator) recommendation is within the webapp. Here is a better screenshot if you have difficulty finding the Authy recommendation:

The instructions in the Security section of the Web Vault are going to be modified soon in an upcoming release, as a PR modifying this text was approved already 2 weeks ago.

The new description for the “Authenticator App” provider will read:

Enter a code generated by an authenticator app like Bitwarden Authenticator

I will go ahead and close this Feature Request as completed, since a solution is already in the works.

If the Help Center documentation is not updated when this is released, people can use the “Make a suggestion” function at the bottom of each help article, and/or post a new thread.
