HOTP now working with Bitwarden

Question
1

Hi all! I’ve just started work at a new company, and they use privacyID3A to generate and manage tokens. The first time I created a token, I added it to Google Authenticator and it works just fine. I created a second token to use with my Bitwarden account, and even though Bitwarden happily accepts the otpauth://hotp/ key and generated tokens, the server rejects them.

I’ve tried this a couple of times, but the resulting token that I add to Bitwarden always generates invalid keys. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Hi and welcome tallow,

I assume you are using the bitwarden authenticator, which can only manage TOTP. If you want to use HOTP, then use the Privacyidea Authenticator or any app that can manage HOTP.
