To those that are confused about this:
Bitwarden does indeed handle TOTP directly in the password manager, but only on paid accounts and only logged in.
This is a completely offline app, separate from your existing Bitwarden account, that is entirely free.
It might serve as an alternative to e.g Aegis to some.
Is there a good reason I don't know about to prefer this over Aegis?
Reading these comments, it feels like Aegis became the standard without me noticing.
Reading these comments I feel like I'm completely out of the loop because I've never even heard of Aegis
It doesn't get a whole lot of attention but it's the most mature open source authenticator app and one of the first ones you would find in fdroid. With that said, there's nothing really standout about it or its features, it just works.

interesting. what makes it special? i'm assuming it's just like any other TOTP client?
Someone answered this for me. It's just that it's open source. If that matters to you, there you go.
