2FA and password managers

Two-factor authentication (2FA) protects your accounts even if a password leaks. Many password managers include a built-in TOTP authenticator and support for passkeys and hardware keys. We compared 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, NordPass, Proton Pass, LastPass, and RoboForm for 2FA features: TOTP, passkeys, and recovery.

Our 2FA picks

1Password and Bitwarden both have strong 2FA: built-in TOTP, passkey support, and hardware key options. Proton Pass and NordPass also offer TOTP and passkeys. Choose 1Password for the best integrated experience, Bitwarden for free and open source, or Proton Pass for privacy-focused 2FA.

The best password managers with two-factor authentication support TOTP (authenticator apps), passkeys, and hardware keys (YubiKey, etc.). We compared 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, NordPass, Proton Pass, LastPass and RoboForm; all offer strong 2FA. RoboForm and others also support passwordless unlock with a passkey.
