Hi, community! Is the option to sync authenticator codes in the cloud with the Bitwarden account now available?
I recently started using the Bitwarden authenticator and I’m afraid of losing the codes because it doesn’t have cloud sync. If it’s not available, is there a scheduled release date? The backup option hasn’t worked, when I press activate, nothing happens.
@marcela.a Welcome to the forum!
No, not yet. It’s still on the Roadmap though.
Not that I know of.
Hm, when I press on “backup” (or whatever it is exactly called in English, as I have the German version and the language can’t be changed as it seems), it only gives me the option to press “OK” or “More info to that”. - Pressing OK should be enough for enabling it. (and BTW, that backup option uses the backup option of your device, so either Google One or iCloud)
Another option you could choose right now: make an export. Unfortunately, there is no encrypted export possible in the current version (here is a Feature Request to that: Encrypted Offline Backup/Export option). And here more info to making an export in the Authenticator app: Import and Export | Bitwarden
I don’t necessarily want to sync it with the Bitwarden Password Manager. I want to sync it separately. Will that work?
If not, is 2FAS a good alternative?
No, at the moment, there is no sync function for the BW authenticator app (apart form the device’s backup function)
This feature request is about more backup options: (More) cloud backup options, independent of the device's backup system (iCloud/Google) - and this one is about being able to sync two or more authenticator apps: Sync between two or more instances of the authenticator app (independent of the BW password manager/vault)
