Password Manager's Black Friday Offers/Starting a Group

2 years back I used to use 1password and Lastpass...switched to bitwarden and have never looked back

Always in awe of how well (and no frills) this open source app is...doesnt add unwanted features and works better than the above 2 options at what its supposed to do
 
I have been using bitwarden for more than 2 years now. Since I use it for TOTP, I have premium subscription. If you don't need TOTP feature, subscription is not required.
Haven't faced any issues with mobile and browser integrations.

Same, I was on Roboform PW Manager, during my college days, but since then I shifted to bitwarden in 2019 and authy for 2FA. And I am really impressed.

Authy and Google authenticator dont let you export. Do they?
I have been using open source TOTP tools like:
Aegis
 
Yeah they don't, but when I started using them, it used to, on desktop app atleast. But now am stuck.
Both apps didn't allow to export, even around 6 years ago, when I first tried them out.
I used Google for a while, because Google, and when I found a good enough app in open source, I moved there.
..
You are not stuck.
You need to reconfigure 2FA to another source.
That's a one time thing.
It takes like 2 mins, for each service you added there.

I got way too many 2FAs set up, and am lazy 🥲

I recommend using a separate application for TOTP as it enhances security. Storing both the password and OTP in the same software creates a single point of failure, which defeats the purpose of having two-factor authentication.

Agree.
But both reside in your mobile. That's a bigger single point of failure.
I don't advice to take shortcuts to bypass security, but practically, I do recognise which conveniences I am willing to take to avoid daily usage to become more painful than it should be.
