Hey, I need to move one day of Google Authenticator, and I was wondering if their was a project like Bitwarden for 2 Factor Authentication
Take care!

Bitwarden provides a facility for MFA. Though there’s an argument to be made against eggs + baskets. It might defeat threw purpose a bit.
I use Aegis which is opensource and easily encrypted and backed up locally. Saved my ass where I accidentally deleted my 2FA for Bitwarden, thus locking me out in circle of shite. Aegis allowed me to roll back and pull in that one missing key without having to redo a load i’d made since the last backup and all was good.
Yea, I think everyone that is saying Bitwarden supports 2FA is missing the point of 2FA. You don’t want it to be in the same place where all your passwords are, otherwise if someone gets access to your passwords they essentially can prove they are you.
That being said, I use a mixture of Authy + Bitwarden. Bitwarden for sites that require it but aren’t really a priority for me to keep separated, and Authy for 2FA codes that I prefer being separate from my passwords.
Reading everyone’s comments here I thought I would go full Bitwarden, but I get the idea of have the 2 factor’s coming from the exact same place
Yea, the whole point of 2FA is to make it so if your credentials are leaked you aren’t compromised!
Aegis Authenticator for Android: https://getaegis.app/
Raivo OTP for iOS: https://raivo-otp.com/
2FAS however is cross-plataform, open source, and what I’m using right now: https://2fas.com/

Bitwarden has TOTP included as a feature. Seems like lots of people don’t like using it though, and see storing the 2FA keys with the passwords as "putting all your eggs in one basket.
Aegis seems to be the open source 2FA app of choice for privacy-minded people right now.
Wow, the program that keeps on giving, I’m surprised, I just checked, and I think I’m going to move my 2FA to Bitwarden
I use bitwarden for the bulk of my 2fas and aegis for the 2fa for bitwarden itself and a couple other sensitive/important sites that I want separated. Be sure to back up your 2fas somehow for bitwarden.
FreeOTP+
If you’re interested in moving away from Google Auth, look into a password manager for added security. Along with storing passwords, managers like 1password support 2FA and store your information in the cloud using a Zero Knowledge model. I’ve been using it for a few years and have not had any reason to use Google Auth.
I personally use yubioath for anything that doesn’t support yubikey. Sounds like that isn’t a solution for you (maybe a totally different, open source hardware key?).
I’d recommend against putting your 2FA inside bitwarden. It’s not a very good second factor if both factors can be exposed by getting into your bitwarden.
It not that isn’t absolutely not a solution, but more that I want to split work and life, and I know I could have some remarks if my collegue see the app of the keys used on my not work phone and I could just avoid certain discussions
Just plain old TOTP? A lot of applications support it, you could even implement one yourself if you are brave, as the algorithm is very simple (don’t do that): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6238
Yubikey is a good option. It supports totp for sites that don’t support physical keys.
I don’t think I’d go with Yubikey, but just because that’s what I’m using at work, that’s the only reason
I have been tempted to get yubikeys but it seems like a hassle to have two and keep them in “sync”.

This is the way tbh. Though honestly it’s not bad to have two, usually when a website has an MFA flow you can set up the second at the same time, I only have one 5C NFC and it works with my phone and laptops (and iPad)

Yes: Bitwarden.
Idk about the central instance, but I use my bitwarden (specifically vaultwarden) instance for my TOTP keys. I can just autofill and then it copies the current TOTP key and i can paste it in to log into whatever i’m logging into!
KeePass. You need TOTP plugin for Windows and there is a nice Android app that implements it out of the box. They also support Steam OTP, though it’s a bit hard to set up.
There is also KeePassXC if you want a cross-platform client, but I have no idea how good it is as I never used it.
KeepassXC is a really good option. I was using it for a while and it was great but bitwarden syncing is just so convenient.
