GitHub is slowly rolling in 2FA. Any good open source apps that will enable me to activate 2FA token on android?

If proprietary app is better and more robust I am willing to try it and assess it myself.

BitWarden.

I don't think that it's safe to leave both authentication factors in a single app.

It depends on your risk profile, but yes, it's less secure. For some people the convenience is worth the risk, for others maybe not. If you opt to store 2fa keys in Bitwarden you'd definitely want to enable 2fa for your Bitwarden account though, which brings us back to the same issue again.

With the risk of getting locked out if all your devices get logged out of Bitwarden! 🙈

To clarify, you'd want to enable 2fa for Bitwarden and store the token for that in a different authenticator app - that way you can still log in to Bitwarden without already needing to be logged in
