I have followed the instructions on this page - https://help.bitwarden.com/article/authenticator-keys/ to add TOTP for my GitHub login.

The camera icon works and I can scan the QR code on the GitHub configuration web page.

It seems to add an entry in the Bitwarden app which looks like

otpauth://totp/GitHub:plittlefield?secret=XXXXXXXX&issuer=GitHub

but when I try to use it from the mobile app or browser extension, I see no TOTP code displayed.

Hope you can help.

My bad, I thought I was a Premium user.

I'll fix that now :-)

OK, so how do I enable TOTP for a self-hosted vault?

All done, I followed the documentation to log in to Bitwarden web site, purchase and download my premium key, then install it on my own self-hosted Bitwarden. I can now use TOTP on web sites.
