It was one of the easiest to setup and it works flawlessly. I’m a bit paranoid about losing my data even with the backups… Any recommendation?

You may have just inspired me to do the same lol, I’m self hosting most of my other things… For some reason, keeping my own data safe with bitwarden is kinda freaking me out too lol
TOTP function is what really made it happen. It brings me so much joy to have one, self hosted service to do everything login related compared to using Authy too. I was way too invested in Authy which was never comfortable for me. I now found peace.
Is having your passwords and TOTP in one place recommended? I would’ve thought that having both separate would be more secure.
It still defends against one failure mode (the website gets hacked but you’re ok) but yeah, obviously if you get hacked and the hacker knows how to get your vault out then you’re 100% screwed.
My suggestion is always hardware 2FA, even though it’s not as mature as the other systems. Personally I have two Yubikeys (in case one breaks/gets lost) but it does mean that I need to add TOTPs to both of them each time I add a new 2FA.
I’m fairly certain hardware based 2fa has been around since the early 90s maybe even earlier. It’s not the maturity that’s the issue, as I’m fairly certain its significantly older than application based, but that it’s extremely inconvenient for the user to have to buy a physical key and keep it safe
