Steps To Reproduce

  1. Precondition: sync with at least one BW vault is active for the authenticator app.
  2. Open the authenticator app.
  3. Click on "+".
  4. Click on "Scan a QR code" / "Enter key manually".

Expected Result

I can choose whether to store the TOTP seed code locally in the authenticator app or in my password manager vault - regardless of choosing "Scan a QR code" or "Enter key manually".

Actual Result

When I choose "Scan a QR code", I can't choose to store it locally in the authenticator app - the BW password manager (mobile) automatically opens and wants to add the TOTP seed code to my BW vault.

Only when I choose "Enter key manually", I can then choose between "Store in Bitwarden (vault" or "Save here (locally in the authenticator app).

Screenshots or Videos

(I hope it is clear without screenshots)

Additional Context

As always, I don't know if the same thing happens on iOS...

Build Version

2025.6.0 (475)

Self-host Server Version

Issue Tracking Info
