2FA: Literally my case here, too bad my email also had 2FA pointed towards my phone.
And I don’t have my personal password manager on my work computer. Not to mention it wouldn’t save me from this 2FA chain that makes me phone the only valid key.
The moral of the story is ofc don’t use Gmail or stuff that only trusts your bloody phone.
There are programs for PC that can generate those authentication codes, bypassing the need for a phone
From what I’ve seen (1 min search), OTP generation is a feature for premium users of bitwarden.
If you are on windows, you should try keepass with your database in your onedrive folder for easy syncing.
If you are on linux, there are options for syncing files like samba servers or mounting onedrive itself.
Doesn’t change the fact that I’d need a specific device to login, still can’t do anything from my isolated work computer. If I was carrying my personal laptop around with me, I wouldn’t have this issue to begin with, I’d just message from there.
Makes me wish something like a literal USB key existed. Altho for now I’ll probably just not use 2FA on my email, and use an alias instead for protection.
Hear me out, keepassxc has OTP capabilities, it is a password manager that uses just one file as a database. Just with your work computer you can log in without the need of a phone.
The only hassle is syncing the file.

You mean something like a Yubikey?
